21" wheel and tyre size
Posted: Wed Oct 13, 2021 6:21 pm
Hi All,
Doing some research around the 21" wheel and tyre selection for the Q4
For anyone into the finer detail of their chosen cars?
Does anyone know why Audi have chosen to use the following sizes..
Front - 21" x 8.5 J rim, sporting a 235 x 45 x R21 tyre
Rear - 21" x 9 J rim, sporting a 255 x 40 x R21 tyre
Looking at tyre manufacturing outputs and they recommend the following, but do say as a minimum a 235 tyre can be used but not recommended.
Front - 21" x 8.5 J rim, sporting a 245 x 45 x R21 tyre
It would of made sense to keep the rims and tyres the same size, with simplification in mind? or is there a good reason for this?
Cant think of any good reasons, but hoping someone can assist in shedding some light on this..
Hoping this will start some good conversation between members of the forum?
Thanks,
