Got S5 19x8.5 rims for my 2013 A4. Any recommended tyres?
So I have just purchased the Audi S5 19" 5 double spoke S Line wheels for my 2013 A4. I was wondering what type of tyres would you guys recommend in sizes 255/35. I was looking at the Continental ExtremeContact DW.
As well, I live in Richmond Hill, Ontario. Are there any recommended tyre shops that are good in pricing and service?
Cheers!

Isn't the stock offset on an A4 et47 and on the S5 isn't it et29? I know that I couldn't run S5 wheels on my S4 for my winter set they wouldn't fit.

The S5 tires are offset 32. Not sure about the stock A4, but it fits perfectly right now without any rubbing

Nice! I just realized I was looking into 18" S5 wheels I guess the et is different on the 19s.
I'm running the conti dws on my summer stock 19 S4 wheels and really like them.

Yea.... I had to check a lot of forums and search a lot of stuff before purchasing the tires because I really liked it. My car comes with all seasons so I am planning to use those for the winter and planning to get summer tyres for the 19 and was looking at the Continental DW because the price is pretty good and the ratings are pretty good too
This isn't my car but this is what it would look like on the previous A4.

Picture looks great...the S5 wheels really fill the wheel wells up nice on that A4!
I have no complaints at all with the conti's and will definitely be replacing them with the same tires when it's time. I don't think you would be disappointed in them at all I would say to go for them!
