Default ever see that simpsons episode where homer is chained to a tree
and he's chased around the tree by the cops eventually cutting the tree down.

well that has nothing to do with it but regardless of your wheel/tire size chains are not for the audi there are far to many suspension components that are very close to the tire and a chain on there would destroy them.
