Re: was ( ) now Audi 14" rims

["Lauri Pettai" <lauri.pettai@netexpress.ee>]

I had 205/65/15" in back and 195/60/15" in front on my old Scirocco and it
didn't rubbed before the shocks went out of order!

Now going with 195/60/14" all around in summer and 195/65/14" in front and
185/65/14" (!?) in back in winter and still no rubbing.

Lauri!
