Default 245/40/18 vs 255/40/18 B8 question.........Gary

one more question.

I know we discussed the Bridgestone 245/40/18 as being a perfect fit for the B8 with RS4 reps.... what about 255/40/18?s would they fill out the wheel arch a little better without being too aggressive?

I saw on tirerack there are a couple of Goodyear Eagle A/S options

I would hope no one ever puts all season on an Rs4, winter then summer tires seems better purpose.

it is an A4 with RS4 rep wheels, not an S4,here in NY winters have been very mild, an all season would be fine for me, considering I also have a Land Rover I drive on the 5 days it snows.

I would be concerned with rubbing with the 255/40R18 size. I'd recommend sticking with 235/40R18 or 245/40R18 on that one.

thank you once again. I think I will stick with our original discussion about 245/40/18 Bridgestones.
