[s-cars] Snow tire size debate - 15" vs 16"

[JC]

Lee - realize you got this squared away but there are a few good and
relatively inexpensive 16" snows-over-BIRA-1-on-C5 solutions, most of them
take-offs.  the BIRA sites compatibility list was pretty good ref for this
actually. I used to use 2.7T take-offs, which I still have and are now on
the S6 as snows.  they were perfect to swap my existing 16" Nokes which had
previously been on the hideous OEM A6 rims.
