Yeah I read the stories about tyre wear etc but not had an issue.

I’m getting about 40mpg combined in a 50TDI. I’m mostly in Efficiency mode as the suspension handles the potholes better rather than Dynamic lol.

But yeah, Vorsprung is a nice place to be 🙂

Vorsprung also come with a sub in the boot.

Brilliant sound quality, definitely worth the extra.

I have a 19 plate Vorsprung with the factory 22s.

I’m on 62,000 miles and I have about 5mm left on my second set of Hankooks.

I also run a set of 20s with winter tyres each winter and they have seen 3 winters and will do me another winter at least.

I do a lot of motorway driving but I’m on track for 30,000 miles a set.

Just rotate them periodically as the front do wear slightly faster.

Did you manage to get Y speed rated winter tyres? I have just found out the hard way that summer tyres don’t work on snow. I am now struggling to find 285 45 20 Y tyres. My local dealer doesn’t seem to have much knowledge in this area

I bought these in the end:

Toyo Snowprox S954 SUV 285/45R20 112 V XL

I used them in Switzerland and they were great in the snow and ice.

I’ve put them back on the car this winter too as I do a fair commute. Plus it helps keep my 22s out of the salt on the winter roads.

They aren’t as smooth as the factory wheels though.

They’re just regular tyres. Prices have gone up a lot since I bought a set though.

For reference, I bought a set of 20” wheels and had my winter tyres fitted to them.

They clear the brake calipers no issues.

You need to get the 4M wheels though as they changed the PCD.

Hi guys,

I have a 2019 Q7 Vorsprung and I work in Switzerland. I’ll need to fit winter tyres when the time comes.

Does anyone know if I can fit smaller wheels than the 22” and still clear the brakes? Hoping to fit smaller cheaper wheels and tyres and gain some more rubber.

Cheers,

Andy
