Re: Gary: suggestions for winter tires (snows) and wheels for 2008 A8
Much of the wheel choice will be matter of cosmetics versus price. We can minus size to 18" or even 17" for the vehicle. 17" will allow you to use the more narrow (better in snow) 235/55R17 sizing. One of the better all-around winter tires in that size would be the Dunlop Winter Sport M3. You can view available wheel options here :<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR8&url=/winter/index.jsp">winter</a></li></ul>

Re: I'm in the NYC area. Do you recommend I downsize to 18 or 17's. I have seen others here using 19
17" would be more effective in snow and slush, softer riding, provide more protection to the wheels from winter damaged roads, and be more economical.

Re: Do you have blizzacks in this size?
Blizzaks are sold out for the season in 17, 18, and 19" fitments for this vehicle. A very highly rated alternative would be the Dunlop Winter Sport 3D.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR8&url=/winter/index.jsp">winter</a></li></ul>
