Hi all
I was on this forum previously asking about wheel / tyre sizes for an A4 Avant S Line Tdi 190 I was buying, but in the end I actually went for a 3.0 Tdi 218 Quattro Avant Sport instead.
I have just come out of a BMW 320d Touring X Drive so the smooth engine is a real relief!
My queries are:
Many thanks
I was on this forum previously asking about wheel / tyre sizes for an A4 Avant S Line Tdi 190 I was buying, but in the end I actually went for a 3.0 Tdi 218 Quattro Avant Sport instead.

My queries are:
- Any issues with mixing tyre brands or wear / tread depths. The X Drive needed certain quality tyre brands (expensive) and rolling circumferences to be matched by replacing all 4 tyres at the same time (transmission wind up and transfer case issues otherwise). Does the quattro system have any requirements like this?
- What tyres are best for 225/50 R17 wheels would people say - at up to £100 a corner?
- Anything else to watch out for to keep it running at its best ie: Recommended Timing belt change mileage / age? Transmission fluid change timing? Oil changes at shorter intervals than recommended?
- Any other quirks or things to watch out for?
Many thanks
