Tire replacement question?
I have a question regarding tire choice. I have a 2000 2.8 Quattro and after going through Tire Rack I narrowed my choices down to two tires: Continental ContiExtremeContact 205/55VR16 or the Kumho HP4 716 205/55HR16. Any comments/suggestions? I am leaning towards the Continentals but figured I would ask.
I searched the posts but there wasn't a good thread on tire selection.

I have the ContiExtremes in 225/45-17. They're a pretty good all season tire. I dont have much to
compare it to. I had the Goodyear RS-A's in 205/55-16, which really sucked. I also run winter tires in the snow.

Re: Tire replacement question?
I am looking to go 215/55/16 on my 1999.5 a4 1.8tq. I was feeling around the back of the tires and it seems there is a very small gap between the tire and suspension. Will butting 215 still fit? please help.

I just got a set of 205s, didn't even think of widening them...
oh well, too late. Just changed out my Dunlop 8000s for the all season Falkens. So far I like the ride better, but I haven't tried any handling tests yet until I break them in.
