Winter tires for 2011 A4 Premium
My current summer tires are Pirelli 245/40/R18 so do I need to get 18 inch winter wheels and rims? If u get a 17 inch package will that affect anything, ie performance? Apologies I don't know much about wheels etc so any advice is appreciated!
I live in cold Toronto, Canada so winters can be harsh sometimes
Thx

Re: Winter tires for 2011 A4 Premium
I was unsure about how alloy rims would hold up in the salt, but took the plunge on a set of RIAL rims, from Germany, with a winter rating on them. I have run them 5 winters now and they have held up perfectly. I give them a coat of wax every year before summer storage. I went with one size smaller rims. You need to get a taller tire to compensate, and this reduces handling (all other things being equal), but you likely don't mind in the winter. You save a bit every time you need to replace the tires as the smaller ones will be less expensive.
