Default Gary/anyone, are 91 load rated tires ok for a B7 S4?

I want to get a set of contiextremecontacts, but I noticed the highest load rating for the size I need (235/40) is 91, vs. 95 for OEM contisportcontact 2s. Will I have any trouble if I run those tires with a curb weight of just under 4000 lbs?

This one is a bit complicated. Showing 1323lbs of load per tire on the version that sells for $125, and $1356 load on the verison that sells for $132 each in 235/40R18.


On your drivers door jam there should be a sticker with your VIN# and Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) that will list front and rear maximum weight ratings that Audi gives your specific model of B7. If you could post what exact model of B7 you have and what that sticker says I could better answer this question.

It should read something like : 5415lbs front 2712/Rear 2425lbs. That is just an example, so I'll want to verify what yours says.

Thanks for the quick reply. The sticker says 5071, 2756 front, 2425 rear. It's a 2005.5 model.
