A5 Snow Tires

Xphstos · 06-27-2008, 06:00 AM

Currently looking to get an A5 with 19 inch summer performance tire. As a result will need to get winter tires. Was wondering if anyone could recomend a good pair of winter tires and rims that I should get? Also, would you recomend going with 17s or 18s?

Also, depending on how much snow the car will see, going with narrower tires will improve snow and slush performance, but decrease the dry pavement traction.

For more agressive snow tires, the Nokian Hakka4 or Nokian Hakka5 do great. Those are avialable in many 17" and 18" sizes.
