FINALLY: The 18" ET20 8.5J 225/40/18 RS4 wheels with Dunlop SP Sport 01 A/S tyres are fitted!
Because they are 8.5J wide and ET20, the look sóóó good and fill-up the arches entirely!
I still love the old style RS4 look!
IMO I think they look better than my summer 18" S8 wheels!
Had 18" old style RS4's before, but they where the 'normal' 8J and ET35.
Directly noticed that steering feels way more stable, no 'vibration' and better cornering.
(I used 12mm spacers front and 20mm back with my S8 8J ET35 wheels to fill the arches, but no need for that with my RS4 8.5J ET20 wheels anymore!)
I like them so much that I'm considering to keep the RS4 alloys, and put 'summer-tyres' on them somewhere in april 2010.
Because they are 8.5J wide, I can put 255 tyres on the back!!!
(I think that looks awesome: 225front and 255back)
I thought I bought 'winter-tyres', but looking at them, the are Dunlop SP Sport 01 A/S tyres.
Does 'A/S' mean All-Season?
So can I use these tyres the whole year? Also in (little) snow?
Would be great for me, because I've seen that my 'summer' tyres are worn on the back. They are equal to the 'indicator' on the the tyre.
How comes? I thougt that the tyres on the front would go first?
The set ( 4 Dunlop SP Sport Maxx) was placed 22000miles ago.
So would be great if I can use my 'A/S' tyres for a longer period. Otherwise I have to buy at least 2 new 'summer Dunlop SP Sport Maxx' tyres somewhere in april 2010.
Pictures will follow!
