[s-cars] Tire/ Wheel Issues

Tom,

Just want to be sure, won't that
mess with the Torsen? (I'm assuming
that you're intent is to have the
two newbies on the same axle).

Larry,

Buy two snows of the same size and brand that you are 
running now.  The circumference differential due to 
wear should be negligable.

Collective:

I have two questions regarding wheels/tires.

1) What is the "official" color of OEM Audi rims,
such as, in this case, UrS Avus 16 x 7.5 6 spoke
Speedlines. Is it still Zermatt Metallic?

2) Opinion requested. When I bought my UrS6, it came
with half worn (about 1/4") treaded snows on the 
aforementioned Avus rims. Three are okay, one has a
noticable bulge in the sidewall near the shoulder.
How much of a problem would there be replacing the
one bulged tire with a new one. I'm kinda on a tight 
budget,
so if I can avoid buying four new snows, it would 
help,
however, I won't compromise the safety/longevity of 
the
car to save a few $$$

TIA,
