Hi, new member here. I have a 1987 S4 that currently has some non-standard wheels fitted. I've just bought an original set of S4 16" wheels that I'm going to refurb and put some new tyres on. I can find options for the fronts (225/50/16) but nowhere (Blackcircles, Tyres on your drive, Kwik Fit etc) seems to do the rears (245/50/16). Where do you guys get your tyres from and what size do you fit to your rears?

I may be wrong but I believe the rears should be 45 not 50.

Those are 944 Turbo sizes Sean so you are right.

I've done some more research and you're right, Sean. I was going from the tyre websites where you put in your registration and it tells you what size you need. They identified the fronts correctly, but not the rears. It's still a rare size but Toyo appear to do one, so it's all good.

Bridgestone do them as well, I have them on the Speedster.
