Default What size Blizzak LM-22s are you guys putting on your A4?

205/50-16?

Does this cause the speedo to be off a bit?

Thanks!

Default I have 225/17 cause "it's more important to look good ..."

I know those are a bit wide for snows, but I had my reasons and they feel mah-veloous on dry roads.

The recomended size is prob 205/55R16 or 195/65R15

Skinny is better for snow, worse for dry handling.

I got 17 in MM Spders to leave myself an option for big brakes and got 225 wide tires to protect the wheels from the killer curbs in my driveway. I think the quattro will make up for the slight increase in width.

Default Looked like the tires were only available in specific sizes:

185/55HR15
205/50HR16
225/50HR16
205/50HR17

I thought the 205/50HR16 looked closest to stock sport wheel size, although wall is 5 mm shorter? So theoretically speedo will read high?
