Do you have "RS6" or B8 Sline wheels in combo with a 19" all season tire?

we get mild winters here, and I don't want to have to do 2 sets of tires/wheels

Thanks

I"m sorry, we do not carry RS6 or Sline wheels.

I can check on all season tire options. What is the year and model of Audi or the tire size?

2009 A4 2.0Q without sport package......but I may do H&R springs

would it be better if I just went with 18" wheels with all seasons?

you can't edit posts????

gary,

If I go 19" I am looking for 255/35/19
if I go 18" I am looking for 245/40/18

Most likely going with RS4 or RS6 reps from Hartmann (18x8) or (19x8.5)

In the 255/35R19 size my top two recommendations are the Yokohama Advan S4 and Michelin SPort A/S+.

In 245/40R18, add the Bridgestone Potenza RE960 A/S to that list.

You like the 18" Bridgestones better than Goodyear Eagle GT's?

I do for better wet traction and handling. For a bit longer wear, I'd lean towards the Eagle GT.

I ran 255/40/19"s on my allroad. Handled extremely well in any & all conditions. I switched to 18"s after 2 years & went with RE960 Pole Position's. They are everything the Advan' were, but, less road noise. I would not hesitate to buy either one again.
