The least popular thread ever....

No, I haven't bought an Audi, but I am going to ask about tyres, AND they are to go on a GT.

Seems the GT runs different sizes to F30/31 etc.

I need 225/45 19s on the front and 255/40 19s on the rear. Seems there not overly popular, don't know why.

Any suggestions, good deals etc more than welcome.

You can get the fronts here http://www.tirendo.co.uk/car/tyres/s...y-bmw/?speed=y this is where I got my rears recently. Great service with free delivery to the door. They don't show the rears, but that's not to say they don't do them.

Useful. Not an option as I love the car, but I do need new tyres.

Have you tried black circles, maybe Costco?

Try Formula one autocentres if you want supply and fit.

They are generally a little cheaper than Blackcircles.

Ditto

Change the car.

Sorry.

Wow 2 calls to change the car from people with 335ds that have got worse suspension than an x3 according to other threads!

People in glass houses?

Halfords autocentre seem to do good prices OP

thewallboy · 03-24-2016, 03:53 PM

Thanks all. Any ideas why they would put different sized tyres on the GT?

So you could get fed up with it and change it? Again sorry, couldn't resist.

I swapped the suspension on mine for 600 quid, you will never make a GT pretty IMHO.

True. I stand corrected

If you do go for BlackCircles and opt for having the tyres sent to the fitters, do call the fitters and check the tyres are there - don't believe BlackCircles when they email you saying the tyres have been delivered. I got given the right runaround by BlackCircles and two wasted journeys
