Default OK, so I bought an A6 4.2...

I'm in desperate need of a set of 255 / 40 17's that I can get on the car rapidly in order to have it certified (dealer won't certify with worn tires). I was wondering if any of you guys out there have a set cluttering up your garage?

Default What did it come with?

Mine were 255/45/17 Dunlops stock.

I guess what I'm trying to figure out is, why does'nt the dealer give you new tires if you just purchased it?

Whats the real deal here?

BTW, congratz on the purchase.

Default I have 255 /40 / 17's also (p6000s) need to put same size on to certify...

I want to get snows on these 17's and BBS CH's in 18 for summers. I don't want to buy new 255's that im not going to use in the future. Problem is that the tires I put on for certification have to be 50% tread or better.
