Happy 2000th post. 205/55/16 seems to be the a common size, worth looking at both options. :thumbs:

Well spotted and thanks Ian c,I'm not with the car but its normally on 215 do you think dropping to 205 will be within spec for a tdi quattro sport? I've seen some over here in Germany if there ok sizewise? Without the car anyone know were I could check the recomended size?

The wheels will probably be 16x6.5 which would happily take either 205 or 215/55.

I bought a set of wheels in this size for our 2007 Passat so these may be an option for your car? They were genuine VW alloys in mint condition and cost me £220 on ebay, and 2 of the continental tyres were almost new too.

I bought these winter tyres, the same type as I used on my S4 last winter (and they were fantastic):

I'd buy your tyres quickly as prices are going up by the week as winter approaches.
