a small post for my fellow membrinos who have followed me over the years...i returned to the steroid surgery that served me well when i had my Ibiza and put the A5 through the same [B)]
(apologies for the selfie but i couldn't resist with the beautiful weather n all)
TRW are sound...used to run with these on my Ibiza and swear by em so will be getting them on my A5 when the time comes. If not available then ferodo ds2500 imo
17's should handle better due to lower profile...although you probably won't notice too much difference unless turning at high speed
they look better too ;)
for handling you won't want to increase the sidewall too much...hence why a few go for 215/40 17 like i did. going to 215 also means you're rims are better protected and trust me it is a million times better than standard 205's, less crashy too
i've got a T1R 215/40R17 that came off my Ibiza before i sold it and has loads of tread (had only done around 1000miles)...will sell it cheap plus courier cost...
going from standard 205 to 215 doesn't cause any scrubbing at all unless you're drastically lowered.
I just got the part numbers off the ferodo site and g@@gle searched for a UK supplier...best option but I haven't checked prices recently so maybe camskill are the cheapest
