[urq] tire/wheel size

[Brandon Rogers]

That is what Audi says.  But I don't get that.

What am I missing?

How can 205/60 (15 x 6/7) and 215/50(15 x 8) both be factory size?  205/60 
is a significantly taller - 24.68" diameter vs 23.46" for 215/50.

Check out http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp

I use 225/50 on my summers - hence my choice of 205/55 for the winters - 
rolling diameter can't get much closer...
