[s-cars] Snow tires for the A4

[Grant Lenahan]

Yes, really.  Not one Audi OEM 16" wheel will fit, except the A62.7t  
"winter" wheel. not one.
Only 3 Ronal models in 16" would fit either. At lest when I was  
shopping.

This assumes that you are not willing to run a silly offset, whcih I  
am not.
The space saver may do just that - for 50 miles, who cares?

HP2s are pretty big. I found out the hard way.
