Tyre Size - LS400

[GibletPH]

Is the factory tyre size on the 16” wheels 225/60/16?

Are there any suitable alternative sizes for the 16” wheels?

Looks like I will need some all season tyres for my upcoming roadtrip so just weighing up my options.

I think thats the factory size, they are on mine anyway, why whats wrong with all season at that size?

My neighbour has had the Michelin fitted to his Audi, pretty good grip in snow

I recently bought two Michelin Cross climate for the rear. They were on special offer at Kwik Fit,

(£145 each balanced and fitted) They have behaved very well during the "Beast from the East"

You'll find a few comments on line re Kwikfit!

Costco often do offers on Michelins and fit them well.

Can certainly recommend Chris Mullins in Gloucester for proper fitting-plus, of course, our own Tony Bones.

Apart from tyres, it's mandatory in some euro countries to have snow chains with you in winter months, france is one & there are I think others

I was asking about size as I know there were uprated sizes available for previous cars I owned including my old ISF. 

Turns out I need M+S rated tyres for the day and a bit that we spend in Austria next week. Looks like I’ll have to call my tyre guy tomorrow.

It's mandatory to carry snow chains in austria & use when appropriate, whatever that means.
