Wanna see some RS4 wheels under the Xmas tree! 18s or 19s?
My criteria: looks, comfort, and performance (I'd like better cornering, but I don't track it).
AAARims has an 18" RS4 package with Conti Touring Contact CH95 tires, 245/45/18, for $1375. Looks like a good all-season tire. Of course I'd prefer the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S, but don't want to spend the extra $105 per tire.
They also have a 19" package with Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 tires, 255/40/19, for $1645. This is a summer tire, but I think I want all-seasons. I'm in the Southeast, but we get the occasional snow/ice, and I drive north once a year.
Also, which setup would work better with H&Rs? TIA.

In ATL, I dont think you will need all season tires
Most roads in ATL are good so I would opt for the 19". Ii would look great. I have 19's so 18's look small to me now.

Actually, I work in Midtown, Downtown area.
Mostly I have had good luck in midtown. Monroe Dr has been a nightmare for a while but I know exactly where you are coming from.

I do NOT recommend the supra712s on an A8.... I had them...
I felt these were far to soft for the A8, flopping to the side under corner loading. I sent them back complaining about the seller who pushed me to them, and received the ones I wanted ( the S0-3's) with full credit from the 712s.
If you go 19, get a stiff tire or you may be sorry. Been there done that
My 19s with the S0-3s are a dream. Still very smooth on the road, and when I push the car hard, I no longer have to worry.
