JF-are you running a urS4/S6?  How wide are your 15" rims?  Assuming they
are 7" wide, pls see below:
Tire:  Nokian Hakkapeliitta Rsi
Size:  205/16-15

These are what I run on my 86 5k cstq winter beast.  Last year, I ran
Hakkapeliitta 2 tires on my since-departed 95.5 urS6 Avant, and they were
also quite good but too loud IMO.

HTH,
Jim

When I puchased my car last year it came with 17" mags and a set of original
Audi rims with tires for winter use. Since last winter the car was at the
doctors for open heart surgery. I never got a chance to try the thing in
snow :(

I installed the winter rims last month and noticed that they were 15"
rims.....didn't the S4 come with 16" Audi rims?

Then I noticed that the tires were a bit bigger....225/70R15....and that
they rub a bit when turning! Hence no fun in snow yet...and turning with a
larger radius so nothing breaks.

I guess that since i'm stuck with my 15 inchers instead of 16's for winter,
what would be your tire sugestions? What size? What brand?

I need to replace the ones that are on now, before I rip off a side panel
with ice!

Thanks
JF Beriault
