WPAWS Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 i would of thought originally your car left the factory with 4 tyres exactly the same so if it was me i would fit them as Audi recommend 6 hours ago, dexterbuchanan1 said: recommendation are 225/40/18 all round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliffcoggin Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 David. You have lower profile tyres at the front which means effectively the overall diameter is smaller, which in turn causes lower top speed/greater acceleration/greater fuel consumption. The lowering of the front end of the car may also have an effect on steering. I would get the tyres changed to the correct size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
