I see Audi is offering a winter tire & wheel package. The wheels are 10 spoke OEM and include the TPMS valve. The tires are Pirelli Winter Sottozero Serie 11. I see them listed at Tire Rack in size 245/45 R18 but not in the preferred size of 225/50 R18. What gives?

Not sure why the dealer supplied wheels have a TPMS sensor installed. In general, I have always done better by shopping for exactly the winter tires I wanted, not what Audi has to offer. Wheels are generally a compromise but always cheaper than AUDI oem stock.

TYI, I'm runnning Blizzak WS 70's on 17" Moda's

I was wrong. Hyper advised the TPMS is a component of ABS this is not an issue when buying wheels. My main question is why would Audi offer a winter wheel/tire package consisting if a tire not available in the size (225/50 R18) that they recommend for winter tires. I guess, if I really search my soul, I do know, Pirelli offered Audi a deal to push their Sottozero Serie 11 245/45 R18, forget the fact that they are not available In the preferred size.
