Tire questions

[CharlesInLondon]

Hi  All,

I'm new to this forum - hello all. I picked up my new to me A4 Avant 252bhp Quattro yesterday. Very exciting!

I've got 3 questions that maybe someone knows the answer to.

1. The car came with 19" wheels which make the ride v hard. Has anyone got 18" or 17" wheels and did it make a difference?

2. If it does make a differences, does anyone want to swap their 17" or 18" wheels for my 19" set?

3. I want to get a new set of wheels with snow tires. I know the car is a B9 but can I put wheels on the car from a previous variant? And what are the wheel dimensions I need to look out for?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Welcome to the forum Charlie, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) 

To answer question 2 yes it will make a difference, it should improve the rude. 

With regard to question 3, yes alot of wheels from older models will fit :) 

Here's a link to a thread I've done with 2 links for info on Audi wheel sizes. Hope it's useful :) 

Cheers
