ChrisL450 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Hi, It's November and I'm on the hunt for recommendations for winter tyres for a 2017 272ps Audi A6 Allroad on 255/45 R19 Wheels. My driving is on a mix of country roads and faster A roads in Scotland. I'm looking for a good all-rounder - needs to be good in the wet especially up here! Any advice appreciated. I'm not planning to buy new rims and go down a size or two, but would be interested in hearing from anyone who has done that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

56Doc Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I had a 2004 allroad running 18” wheels so bought a cheap set of 17” twin spokes for winter tyres (17s are a LOT cheaper) and used continental winter contact, saves on having to swap tyres and rebalance too. Pretty much unstoppable! Do miss that car! i generally use mytyres.co.uk to compare the specs of different tyres. think I’d defo go for smaller rims than 19” though. Not even sure you can get 45 profile winter tyres at 19”. Hmm. Hope this helps Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL450 Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 Thnaks for the advice, and the useful website link. Clearly the Germans take winter tyres a bit more seriously than we do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
56Doc Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 It’s compulsory over there I think. Oct to March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
