Default pro's and cons to putting smaller tire size on quattro.
i'm contemplating using a smaller tire size on the audi. main purpose is for better launches and a sportier look. i've seen a buddy with the smaller size tire and they look great. other then an incorrect speedo, any downside to this?! i'm looking to go from 215/60/15 (stock 200q20v) to 225/50/15. at 65mph, car will show 69ish.

Con, may have harsher ride due to smaller sidewall.

Hint: Buy some 16" wheels and then run 225/50/16's.
