Default All season tires

I recently placed an order for a manual A4 with the 18 inch sport package.

I have driven A4s for the past nine years, and they have always been shod with all-seasons, and this has been sufficient.

Has anyone who has ordered an A4 with the sport package been able to negotiate substituting the summer performance tires with all season tires?

Since I do not expect delivery until late February, I expect there is still time to change. However, I wanted to check here first whether this is doable.

Default There is no way to specify which brand tires come with the car.

Sometimes Audi allows you to chose between all-season and sport tires, but I don't see that on the current options list with the sport package. (I could be wrong).
One other option you have is to take delivery of the sport tires, drive immediately to America's Tire Company and swap them out with all-seasons. They will pro-rate the tires, but since the car only has a few miles on it, you should make out quite well with the swap.
FWIW, I too did not want sport tires on my A4. But since stuck with them, they were quite nice overall. The rain posed no problems at all. Snow? That's a different issue.

Default There's an options code to do a no cost swap at the factory..I think..I'd have to hunt around for it

I originally remember it for the A5s...

If you could let me know what the code is, I would be very grateful.
