Default winter tire dilemma
Sorry about this dumb question, but I need some reassurance here. Does anyone know if the 235/45-17 dunlop M2's from my old A4 will fit on my TT with 17" forged?
Tire Rack says NO, Local Tire shop says OK
Thanks

Hmmmm, I'd think so, but to be sure, do you have a wheel/tire calculator handy?

Default Theyd probably fit but the overall rolling circumference would be way off. Whyd you get em so wide?
Snow tires are supposed to be skinny. I have 205 55 16 iirc

Default they were on my old A4 that was Returned to Audi
Sorry about the re-post, I'm new. I see that having a direct message in the subject file works well

They still seem wide.
