audi tyre homologation

Daniel, go over to RS6.com ans speak to LU-rs6. he had exactly the same thing, it was a small knob of metal on the the suspension arm that was rubbing his tyre the same s yours. he ground it down by 2mm it all was fine.

thanks for this advice !
but I think, that can`t be the master solution !

I had the same rub with a Michelin PS2, had to order special code for a more rounded inner shoulder!

[Spacecowboy]

do you know the special code ?

[Spacecowboy]

hey mo !
where are the news ?

I`am nervous !

Finally got round to checking mine today and, as expected, no rubbing.

But don't forget Daniel, we both have coilovers and from the pics of yours in the snow, looks like yours is slightly lower than mine. I think you'd either have to raise it up a bit or fit the same tyres you had previously (or the equivalent thereof).

Mo.

[Spacecowboy]

this are equivalent for that !

how much space do you have ???

When I get some time next week, I'll take some photos from the side just to see where my wheels are in relation to the arches (side profile, tops of wheels). If you could do the same then we can compare like-for-like. Then we can try to eliminate whether or not height is the issue.

Cheers,

Mo.

with the h&r suspension it isn`t the reason ! whether its high or low...

the problem is at the suspension strut and the wheel bearing casing !!!

this is putting in my tyres...

[grizz]

The way the tyre sits has no connection to the height of the car in relation to the hub.

[MoRS6+]

Ah, well then I'm not sure what's going on.

Maybe it's just as Grizz has said, that some tyres are just bigger than others. May just be as simple as that?

Good luck finding the problem!

Mo.

[MoRS6+]

Speak of the Devil!

(Think I'll just stick to fixing pc's for a living!)

[Spacecowboy]

yes, I`am sure, that this will be the problem...

never dunlops again...

I think I understand why height isn't an issue because of where it is rubbing in this pic:



I cannot see any reason therefore other than either as Cornishmoocher or Grizz describes above (i.e. metal knob or tyre size).

Logically, why would there be a special code for the fitment of tyres if there indeed wasn't an issue with clearance! It means therefore that fitting any tyre to this car other than that recommended by way of the special code is entirely at ones own risk. So in other words, I've been bloody lucky!!
