Yes, I ran 225/40/R18 (92Y) XL (Extra Load) Continental Sport Contact 5 in summer and 225/40/R18 (92V) XL (Extra Load) Toyo Snowprox tyres all on 18-inch 7.5J ET39.5 OEM Audi 5-spoke Rotor wheels - both sets @ 37psi front and 31psi rear - and yes it improved the ride, lots
Speedo error calculated -3.5% (1931-mm against 2001-mm (design) circumference)

Cheers fella .Good to know .I presume it three Speedo out slightly.
Was clearance ok .It's unlikely we use the car fully loaded as it's the wifes but was thinking of selling the 18" and revert nyo standard 17' . Unfortunately nothing selling at moment .Thinking now to keep and slowly move to 40 profile
Many thanks for reply .
Stay safe.
