Default Tires 225/40/18 ??
Hi
I have A3 (2007) 2.0 TDI, and want to buy tires 225/40/18. Is it bad for car? Too big?

Thanks

If you have 18" wheels, then that would be the standard size tire.

You can't put 18" tires on 17" wheels. It won't fit.

Yes I have 18" wheels, and 18" tires, but someone told me that is no good for car, becouse they come with 16" and 17" wheels and tires from car factory

If you have 18" wheels and tires, then the tires on it should be 225/40/18, which is the size of Audi's 18" optional wheel upgrade for A3.

LWNY is exactly right, that is the size for the 18" wheels.

You can do it, it'll compromise a ride comfort for better handling......wheels should be 7,5"
