I just picked up a set of 7 spoke Audi wheels (same year/size) with 205/55/16 Goodyear Eagle HP's (90% tread left) for Jake's Bus.

Thank's No H2o,What's your impression of a 60 on your bus?I'm finding that 215x65's are easy to find.Rav4-Suz etc.I cant go lower here.But a 16" wheel has to be an improvement,no?Where do you get all those wheels from? Thanks

The tires I put on the bus are what was on the A4. They are still far better as far as sidewall flex than the 195/75/14's I had, much less body roll and feel much more stable at why speed. the 215/60/16 seem to throw my speedo off (reads 5 mph lower at a true 65-70 mph).
The wheels/tires on my Bus I got from Ebay, the wheels/tires I got for Jake are ones that I had been waiting for from a salvage yard but the insurance company had not released the car yet and I found another set on Ebay. Jake said he would like to get the set from the salvage yard for his so I picked them up too.
