I got a nail in the sidewall recently and need to get either two or four new tires. I have RE930s and will probably go with the RE950s. If anyone in San Diego has the 7 spoke sport wheels for sale, let me know.
TIA.
TIA.

Re: Tire question... I currently have 205/60 15.
I gave a throught about getting a wider tire while keeping the 15" wheel.
Based on my computation, 215/60 is too big, and introduces about 2% error on your speedometer. Another possibility is 225/55, which is within less than 0.2% error range.
Only concern is the 225/55 tire will be happy with the A4's suspension setup and opening.
