    Winter Setup On

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Audi OEM 18x8 ET47 5-spoke with 245/40 R18 Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D tires. No snow yet, a better ride on a cold (sub-40 degree) night with the softer compound. Looks better than I thought, although still prefer the 19's which I am cleaning and coating in anticipation of spring remounting (long wait).

    Looks great! I also run 18" Wintersport 3Ds, have for 6 seasons now. They're amazing in the snow, and do very well on wet and dry roads in winter. Good choice ;)

    Looks fantastic! Love those rims.

    I still have my set of Michelin X-Ice Xi3 (in 245/40/18) sitting unmounted in the garage since we have yet to experience anything close to resembling winter weather in the DC area. Normally I mount my winter set during the 1st or 2nd week of December. What a weird winter. Damn you El Nino!

    I'm in the same boat, except mine are on a rack mounted on some 18" Alzor reps. I want to try them out!!

    You know the 18s look good, a better fit (proportionally) for the B8s. And as you noted a better ride.
