Anyone know what tire size JHM runs on their B6 S4?

Just curious to what they use, whether it's stock 235 40 or something different.

Thanks

Stock 235 40 18

Thanks Jake!

Just curious, did you not find a larger tire to provide and benefit on 1/4 mile times or handling of the car?

I would think that they want to stay consistent with the stock tire size. JHM does list it when they change out the tire size like with the RS4 where they run 255/40/18 tires instead of the stock 255/35/19 tires.

Just from my experience, a wider tire is heavier and it puts a lot of stress on the front left axle. I have broken like 6 left front axles but I also run 265/35/18 tires on 18x9 wheels.

I talked to you about this before, you said you think it was more or less from the front LSD though right, or am I remembering that wrong? I picked up 2 new front axles last year because of what you went through just to be sure since I'm running 18x9 with 265/35/18 tires as well. But they weigh about 10lbs less per corner than my RS4 reps did. I was spinning pretty hard through first gear.
