Tires for Potholes.

fredbourgeoismtl · 03-25-2012, 12:46 PM

I just have bubbles on 3 different tires on my B8 S4. Those are the Dunlop's 255-35-19. Since, I dont want to pay another 500$ CDN for 2 defect tires, what do you suggest to me in order to drive my Audi in the Montreal Street which are in really bad shape. Is a 4 seasons tire is supposed to be stronger? Any Idea for a specific Brand? I'm looking for the Sumitomo HTR III or the Michelins Pilot Super Sports. I don't need tires with snow ability, since I have a set of winter tires on 18 inches China replica Wheels(Blizzak LM-25). Buying 18 inches tires can be a possibility but i prefer the look of OEM wheels.

Go to 17"wheels with some sidewall, if they will clear your brakes.
Or 18" if you must.
Over-size by one size (e.g.: from 245/40 to 255/40)

Simple

Many All Seasons will have a stronger side wall. Gary can probably comment on suggestions.
The choice is also to watch your driving habits till the holes get repaired.
