Default Audi rim size for winter

Hey Guys - Running a 2.0T A4 B7 Quattro. It came with 16" rims. I want to upgrade to 18". Audi Canada says 18" rims are fine for this car. My question is will it be fine in an all season tire for the Winter in Toronto.

You could get winter tires for the 16s and rock them in the winter and have your 18s for the rest of the year. Mine came stock with 18s but a Toronto winter is a lot different than over here

Winters in Toronto are pretty severe! You are best off with winter tires.

Run the 18s on sport tires in the summer. 16s on snows in the winter.

You will go through less tires over time and you will have the best tires for the right season.

Best of all the overall cost is the same since you have two sets versus one.
