Tahrs...and wheels

[Danton J.A. Cardoso]

I run 195/65/15 snows and steelies in the winter.  Car handles like it is a
utility cart.  For the other three seasons, I am on 225/45/17, and the car
handles like a go-kart.  This plus size saved my butt recently (Thursday
night), from bonding with Bambi at 80 mph.  Of course, the Hella 500 FF's
played a role too.

I drive an A4 Avant 2.8 five-speed quattro (of course :)

Hi Audifans:
 
This topic interests me (and I admittedly know little about  it). The info 
shared on this thread was quite valuable to me. So I'm asking  everyone's 
opinion on a related  question: How does going from a 15" wheel  to a 17" 
wheel change the way a car drives? 
 
TIA,
Dee

I do the  same, usually around 40 psi, saves gas and tires and keeps things 
 firm.

At least a couple  of PSI above door sticker rec. for full load, some times
even more. Had 2  cheap-ish new Falcon ZIEX wear out on the outside edges in
1/2 a year with  2 PSI above, so got them replaced under warranty and still
run them with 4  PSI above rec. Same with winter tires, oops!, meant tahrs -
hard, solid  ride as it should be  ;o)
