Default 2005 A6 - Tire and Wheel Recommendation

Hi,

Have a 2005 a6 with 17s and Michlens.

Time to find new tires.

Want a larger diameter tire/wheel.

Here's the input I am seeking:

1) I don't want to get a rough ride. Given this would you suggest 18 or 19?
2) Based on #1 what size tire? What Brand/Style for all-season (live in Michigan).
3) Since I need new wheels when going to larger tire any recommendations on brand? Want painted silver.

Thanks!

Jeff

As someone who has been through this with my A4 and RS4 and now recent experience with the Q5 LinkL https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho...2797563&page=2

Read the reviews from Tire Rack to determine the all season for you. I love the Contis (see my link) but I would never consider another winter in them (or any other all season) I run all seasons on the RS4 for summer tires. But for winter use put snows on your 17"s .

If they are from a B7 2008 A4 then yes. I don't think the B8s will fit as the bore of the wheel is different.
