Here is a pic of mine, went from 21's to 19's (not the greatest pic as apparently the BB torch doesn't like my work garage but you get the idea)

18" Pirelli Scorpian Ice and Snow on R8 replica rims. Fantastic on dry. Now to wait for snow.

Re: Pic of Q5 Sline in winter mode
In Canada the 20 inch sline rims come with summer tires. I'm surprised in the US it's all season. For winter rims an tires the rims size commonly used for q5 for winter is 18. It's really the tire that makes a huge difference. I have falcon tires on the same rims as above and have driven im 5 inches of snow for about 5 once with no problems at all.

Re: Pic of Q5 Sline in winter mode
Just wanted to send you guys an update. I kept my 20" on my 3.2 S-Line and went with Pirelli Ice and Snow. I went skiing today and tried out the 20" in some deep snow. The tires performed outstanding in snow, very happy I decided to keep the 20s and go with the Ice and Snow.

I have Pirelli Scorpions on my Touareg (18's). The inside shoulders on the fronts cupped and wore down to the wear bars at 33,000K. They're also basically useless in the winter, having almost zero traction-don't steer very well either. I hope you have better luck than I did.

Re: Pic of Q5 Sline in winter mode
While I have only had them on for two months and we only received our first snow last night (~2 inches), I'm very pleased with the Michelin Latitude Alpins. Highway ride and handling is excellent (dry pavement) and no noticeable traction issues on snow/slippery side roads this morning. Auto123.com rated them #1 in the Performance Winter tire category for SUVs/CUVs.
