All Season Tires for 21" wheels

**rayray** · 11-23-2016 05:50 PM

Just like the title says I'm looking for all season tires for the 21 inch wheels on our 2017 Q7. I've searched high and low and all the mainstream tire websites without success; I could only find summers and winters. If anyone knows anywhere else please point me in the right direction. Thanks.

Currently, they do not exist. Only option I could find, and I have a 40 year relationship with my tire retailer, are one size wider Continental DWS 06 in 295/40ZR21 with even higher load rating of 111. You'll have a 1% speedo variation in your favor. I have heard that Audi may void a warranty for running a non AO tire. Can't imagine, but VAG is really tightening the belt anywhere they can. Good luck!

There's a guy on Audiworld that's put those tires on his Q7 Prestige and had the dealer install them. He reported no problems.

That guy is me :) I ordered them when I picked up my Q7 last January. The dealer would not order them but they did put them on for me. I have used them for 9600 miles, driven a 2000 mile road trip, used them in show, slush and flooding and have had zero issues with them. I am very disappointed that they did not have them for my new Q5. I would buy them again in a minute!

This thread has a picture of them. http://www.audiworld.com/forums/q7-m...2894903/page2/

@Jallen0 ... cool to see the Contis on the car! I wound up with 20" run flats :( Going to my dealer soon to figure out replacements.

Off topic, but I bet that Q5 is killer looking. Daytona with black optics my favorite color combo ... had it on my RS5.

As soon as I take the time to figure out how to post pictures on this site I'll do that. Until then I have a few shots here: http://www.audiworld.com/forums/q7-m...-many-2907842/

Stunning "daylight" pic! I just love it. If Daytona Gray was available, short of going Exclusive, I'd have most likely gone ahead and ordered our Q7.

Thank you for the suggestion! I just can't imagine why there is not one specific to the original size. I guess at this price point Audi expect buyers to have two sets of wheels for the seasons, which wouldn't be bad if I lived further north. I'm in the middle of Georgia which weather can go either way this winter and hence my need for all seasons.

Very nice Q5 & Q7 you have there! I want a similar setup since newer midsize avants are nonexistent in our market, but I'm recently conflicted. I originally wanted the brand new SQ5 to replace my A6, but with the announcement of the S5 sportback arrival, I'm really torn.

I was originally wanting a SQ5 and took the wife with me to look at one but she saw the new Q7. She liked the extra space it had over the SQ5 and she has a point because the SQ5 has around the same space as her Jeep. I'm still getting an awesome vehicle so I won't complain unless she makes me drive her soulless Jeep.

I only picked up the Q5 on a hedge. Last model year until the big change. Depending on how things go with that changeover I'll either sell it for a 2018/2019 SQ5...or keep it. It's been fun to drive.
