Default tire shopping: thinking of going w/ 235's on avus's
For those that have gone w/ 235/40/17's any regrets? I am looking at the toyo t1-s.
Searching the archives, i found that some thought the 235's would degrade performance
on 7.5" wheel, any thoughts on this? Just wanted to get some feedback before making the plunge.

ps- already read the tech article

thanks

When I had those, grip and turn-in were improved but ride suffered.

Go for it. Ran 245/45/16 S03s on my A6 16x7 for increased performance in all areas.

Default how do you like your eibach setup so far?
I have been shopping around looking for a spring/shock setup. What made you go w/ the eibachs instead of the H&R's? IIRC you did the install your self, how'd that go? And what documentation did you use? thanks for the help, and sorry for all the q's
