As I said before Tire Rack's listing is outdated and/or for theis stock.A509 that they
list is no longer available from Yokohama.

I am looking at 1998 Yokohama Ultra High-Performance catalogue and the available tires
for Audi sizes in A520 are:185/60 14
195/60 14
195/50 15
205/50 15
205/60 15 (no 215/50 15 though)
I won't list 16"

These are relatively new tires.  After a while more different sizes are
available.Yokohama will be bringing AVS S-1 in 14" and 15" sizes soon just like with
the old AVS and same goes for Brigestone S-02.
