Comes out in 2nd place behind the Pirellis. As I said in an earlier
posting, I've been in several cars, both as driver and passenger, with
Conti Sports, and always found them very good in both dry and wet
conditions.
Also I don't tend to drive on pavements - you tend to risk knocking down
pedestrians if you do that!
Anyway, back to the original question. Can I get 225/50 tyres on the
A4's standard 16" rims, which currently have 205/55s?

Re: A4 tyres
then poke holes in top.
Return to oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until pie crust is golden brown.
Sudden Infant Death Soup
SIDS: delicious in winter, comparable to old fashioned Beef and Vegetable Soup.
Its free, you can sell the crib, baby clothes, toys, stroller... and so easy to
procure if such a lucky find is at hand (just pick him up from the crib and
he?s good to go)!
SIDS victim, cleaned
½ cup cooking oil
Carrots
onions
broccoli
whole cabbage
fresh green beans
potato
turnip
celery
tomato
½ stick butter
1 cup cooked pasta (macaroni, shells, etc.)
Remove as much meat as possible, cube, and brown in hot oil.
Add a little water, season, then add the carcass.
Simmer for half an hour keeping the stock thick.
Remove the carcass and add the vegetables slowly to the stock,
so that it remains boiling the whole time.
Cover the pot and simmer till vegetables are tender
(2 hours approximately).
Continue seasoning to taste.
Before serving, add butter and pasta,
serve piping with hot bread and butter.
Offspring Rolls
Similar to Vietnamese style fried rolls, they have lots of meat
(of course this can consist of chicken, beef, pork, or shrimp).
Who can resist this classic appetizer; or light lunch served with
a fresh salad? Versatility is probably this recipe?s greatest virtue,
as one can use the best part of a prime, rare, yearling, or the
morticians occasional horror: a small miracle stopped short by a
drunk driver, or the innocent victim of a drive-by shooting...
2 cups finely chopped very young human flesh
1 cup shredded cabbage
1 cup bean sprouts
5 sprigs green onion, finely chopped
5 cloves
Return to oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until pie crust is golden brown.

Changing the profile of the Tyre will not change the width of it, so you
could put 205/40/16's on if you could find them, but it will change your
rolling diameter, so your speedo will be out.
The 55 part of the tyre is the thickness of the sidewall, the 205 part of
the tyre is the width, but the wheel itself must be wider in "J" terms to
take wider tyres.
Personally if you were going to change the sidewall profile I would look at
upgrading the wheel size, 16" is the standard size for Audi's so I would
pop some 17/18" rims on with some 40's
