What size new Tires (front)?

Bigbadbrucie - Canadian Supplier Q5 165/60

Bigbadbrucie: Thanks but I had found this site previously and currently the only option they have for the Q5 is the 175/55 option. They do not seem to stock the 165/60 variety any longer. That is why I was asking the question as they have very cheap shipping - 2 tires from Quebec to Edmonton AB for approx. $10. I can get two of the 175/55 for approx $240 CDN shipped tax paid. If I want to order the 165/60 variety from the US thru Tirerack it would cost me more than that in US $. So I have a definite preference to use the 175/55's if I can without any issues.

Yes they will fit .... many here are using that size ..... I recommend the the 165/60-15 because they are less expensive and there won't be any measurable Traction difference between those sizes. Years ago I mounted Toyo Proxes t1r's on my 14 RT... stickiest tire I have EVER used .... But the NANNY would just trip sooner, so there was NO benefit. They actually slowed me down every time she got pissed ...... Mike :thumbup:
