The best tyre is probably the standard size. I run a 1989 Series III Coupe quattro 20V and it has 60 series as standard. Would not fit anything lower here in Scotland or would be forever repairing wheels due to rough road damage.

Remember that you have to keep the rolling diameter the same otherwise your speedo will be incorrect.

By the way, your's is a series III coupe too so is in the wrong forum Smile

if you put 55 on the wheels will be smaller, thus speedo slightly out also it will look different (for the worse) as the tyre to wheel arch gap will increase. Stick to standard tyre.

More importantly, the lower the profile the harsher the ride. Evil or Very Mad

All Audi Coupe 16v should have 205x60/15V tyres
