Iain: I am in Vancouver BC and as a result, my winter involves a lot of
rain
and just some snow - until I head out of town for skiing (Whislter,
Sun
Peaks, Big White, Apex, etc). I have been running 215/55/16 Pirelli
Wintersport 210s on early Audi A8 five spoke 7 x 16 mags. I have
found
the tires work great in both the wet and snow and are still good in the
dry
(a bit of push, etc. but still good grip). 205/55/16 would be a more
correct size but since I am lowered, I purposely selected a slightly
overtall
tire to get a bit more clearance. I do have to run 5 mm H&R spacers
(and
longer wheel bolts) to clear my BIRA System 1 Boxster calipers.
