If you've got information on your stock wheels or aftermarket set-up place it here so we can all learn from what others are doing or not doing. Since there is always hot debate on what works and doesn't please limit your information to true 'live' data.
After Searching other wheel threads I like this format for posting info:
-Car (year, Model, Trim, Suspension), geographical location
-Wheel [Manufacturer, Model, Size(Diameter X Width, Offset), weight and part # if possible]
-Tire (Manufacturer, Model, Size, weight and tire pressure if possible)
-And of course Pictures!!
Here's my info to start:
MY - 2011, 3.0T PremPlus, Std (non-air) suspension - Seattle, WA (Woodinville)
3 seasons:
OEM(Ronal)20" bicolor five-double-spoke 20X9 ET60 ~46 lbs #4L0 601 025 AJ
Pirelli Scorpion Asymmetrico 275/40 ~ (35 lbs, from tire rack)- running 40psi
Winter:
Porsche(BBS) Turbo 5-spokes, 18X8, ET57 ~ 33lbs
Hakkapeliita 4 (Studded) 255/55 ~ 45 lbs! - running 38psi
TPMS requested a reset after rolling radius change (1.31% or .8mph @60 per 1010tires.com)
two great resources I have found are:
www.tirerack.com
www.1010tires.com (they have wheel and tire tech sections which have easy to use calculators for tire/wheel changes)
I hope this is useful and please add your info and any helpful additions/changes.

Welcome to the Q7 forum. We've got lots of data but more always welcome! Any additional via replies here will be added to the spreadsheet.
What pressures do you run?
Location may also be relevent to tire records.
Is that Lava Grey or Orca Black not sure because of the snow reflection?
Recent arrival?

Great Suggestions!
I have edited the OP to ask for that info.
Our Q is Orca Black - so dirty in the pics, and most likely 90% of the time. She wanted black...
At least this gives me more time in the garage![Smile](https://www.audiworld.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I sent you a message with some info for your spreadsheet a few weeks back.

BTW, you can add me in that spreadsheet for the following:
2007, 4.2 Seattle, WA 19" OEM Rims wrapped in 265/50R-19 Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asymmetrico
Compared to the Continental 4x4s, these tires are quieter, wear better and much better handling. Highly recommended.

Has any one tried the Cooper Discovery HT Plus tires. Seem pretty cheap.
all the review I've read have been good. rated better than the bridgestone Dueller's on my Q7 now.

I put on four Toyo Proxie STII's275/45/20 yesterday. I was going to purchase the Yoko Paradas but the merchant, Radial Tire in Silver Spring, MD, strongly encouraged me to avoid those and get the Toyos. Time will tell.

2007 Q7 3.6 Premium stock 20" rims, Cooper HT plus. Tire have about 10,000 miles, they have handled ice, deep snow, heavy rain and a 2 mile mud road/hillclimb to a family cemetery. I will always have the Coopers on my Q as long as I own it. Great tires.
