    Default Need your opinion pls

    I bought 19" RS4 reps that came with 215 35 19

    I am not feeling how stretched it looks but i guess some people do

    the seller was kind enough to give me the choice of trading them for 235 35 19 when he gets his new set of wheels/tires

    Should I keep these (215) or go for the wider tire(235)

    Those do look stretched but I bet your "turn in" is extra crispy on high speed corners.

    I say go with the 235s.

    wider is better!!!!!!!!

    but yeah it doesnt look bad, but theres so little rubber on the side wall that the ride will be pretty choppy on uneven surfaces............... thats what, like 80% of our Texas roads :roll:

    You can always go a bit wider. How does the car respond as you drive it? You should know what to expect from the old tires as compared to these new tires. Is it better or worse, then decide on to keep them or not.

    Wider tires will slow the steering down anyway, but will give you more grip, grip is good, 235's :wink:

    I'd say get 235s as well. You said the wheels came with the 215s? Why would they provide too-small tires with the wheels?

    Where did you get the RS4 reps from? I want to get a set for my A4. You can PM me the info, thanks...
