Default Q5 20 inch Wheel Tires Size

I am in the market for a Q5. I realise its gonna be hard to get a Q5 S so I am planning on getting a set of 20 inch wheels from another source.

What size tires are you guys using on your 20 inch wheels?

Thanks in advance.

Our Q5 came with 19" 5 spokes, but the wife wanted something different to personalize her's...

We tried aftermarket and they could not get it to not 'head shake' at 53 mph - i.e. as if you did quick side to side movement of the steering wheel...

Was fine at all other speeds and wife liked the look, but at a steady state 53 mph it would shimmy...

So we got this 20" multispoke wheel and tire package from Audi:

scroll down to the Q5 set...

So you are going for the Titanium wheel look

The reason I hate the look of black wheels or the Ti option is that I can get the same look with OEM pads on not washing the wheels.

See my recent post on "Stasis Touring package" - Hartmann wheels are awesome and priced quite well. I used 255/45/20 tires.
