Winter Tires; What model and size B5 A4?

[Grant Lenahan]

I actually notice quite a  difference; plus, the smaller diameter wheel; is better protected from the various debris you may encounter in winter driving, from curbs to ice-chunks.  So i think its really good advice to go smaller, especially when you have the choice of two sets of wheels at the ready.
