Audi A6 quattro 95 tire size.
My Audi A6 quattro 1995 currently has tires of the following size:
205-60R15.
The user manual for this car as well as tire rack lists 195-65R15 to
be the factory installed tires.
The rims seem to be original as far as I can tell.
Narrower tires perform better in snow. I am inclined to go with the
factory original equipment.
Can any body comment on the tire size or point me to a website which
lists what tire sizes can be put on a given rim?
Thanks,
Andre

Sounds like the previous owner just did a plus-one sizing on it. If
you go to the Tire Rack site, you can find out which tires will fit
using the stock rims (which is what I assume you have).

While it is true that a narrower tire works best in snow, the
difference between a 205 and a 195 would make little difference.
Although I live in the snow belt (New England), I put the same size
snows on as I do the performance tires simply because even in the
winter time, most of my (your) driving will be on pavement rather than
snow. Remember, this is a Quattro. It will go anywhere with summer
tires; it needs snows, however, to *stop*.
I would stick with the performance formula (205).

Thank you Dave and Dan,
I am going to go with the 205/60R15 based on your advice and based on
the fact that the bigger size is listed on the label I found on the
car as one of the supported tire sizes. It is also the size of the
current tires.
I was not sure if this size is fully supported by this car design or
if it was just an update made by the previous owner.
Unfortunately I was not able to find the page on the TireRack website
which advises what tire sizes are supported by a particular rim size.
But I no longer need that information at this time.
As you can tell I am not very well versed in tires and rims
Thank you,
Andre
