Winter tyres available for RS6 wheels now.

Yes - I know we don't need them yet, but for those who know me then you'll know I'm a convert. Thought I'd better publicise this to help me remember when winter comes.

Last winter I searched in vain for any 255/35 R 19 winters to replace my scrubbed trackday tyres on some spare OE rims. Now they're available, and just look at the picture they've used:

For anyone with 18s there's undoubtedly more choice, but this is the only 19" RS fitment I know of, and that's what I'll be driving on this winter.

A word of caution: as most winter tyres are rated to lower speeds (these are V i.e. 149mph) just set the speed reminder in the dash and don't fit them until the weather's generally frosty each morning.

If you have a spare set of rims they're worth it and might even save your skin.

Anyone who's interested, then pm me and I'll see if I can convince some old colleagues at Dunlop that we need a group buy.
