Snow Tires and Wheels
[COLOR=darkblue]OK, and know it is a little early to be worrying about snowtires but it snows here in October sometimes so what tire and wheel should we be looking at for the season of the COLD?

There was a long thread about this a while ago.
Can't remember all the details, but contributions from Europe, Wisconsin USA among others.
Two threads from search :
- "HELP!!!Winter tires" http://www.rs6.com/forum/showthread....ht=pilot+alpin
- "Snow tires for the beatiful wheels" http://www.rs6.com/forum/showthread....ht=pilot+alpin
Also, remember that snow tires should be thinner than all-round ones.
Example in RS4 owner's manual, for standard 18"x8.5 rim:
- 225/40/18 for winter
- 255/35/18 for all-round.
Depending on your rim size and width, that's an indicative range of tire size you can play around : http://www.bridgestonetire.com/dpp/s...sproductid=222

Regarding your Signature:
the last thing I remember, is you looking for a RS4, and now this Imola Yellow pops up on your Sig
Well done and congrats
BTW - you know better than that:
Avant is Audi ONLY
Variant is VW (your Passat)
seb.
I wonder how you tuck in your "Riesenschanuzer" in the trunk of your Z3?
Oops, sorry. Missed the "coupé".
:snow:
;-)
Seb,
Indeed, I picked up my RS4 Imola yesterday and I should add to my signature "and a BIG grin on my face" ;-)
Thanks for the hint the english proper word for Variant (the French word is officially "break"), correction done.
Snow,
The Coupé has indeed a very practical trunk for my Riesen, the exact reason why I skipped the Porsche Boxster (and also the Murcielago and the Veyron, lousy cars :-)))
Icon,
Don't let it depress you : try a Quattro with M+S tires on a snowy road and you'll have a hell of of an experience ! Personnally that's where I have the greatest fun, climbing a fresh snowy road in the Alps in a Avant/Break/Variant sliding on all wheels, snow flying all around, it's so smooth and exhilirating, can't get enough of it !

The RS6 brings a whole new meaning to the concept of snow drifts.
