Most ridiculous size tyres on car

[Shambler]

I realise that most cars these days come with wide tyres but was surprised when shopping for a diesel estate. The Audi A6 s line 2.0 tdi comes with 255 profile tyres which seems ridiculous. Are there any other cars out there with even more ridiculous tyres for the type of car?

anyone running a road car with 30/35 or 40 series tyres on anything other than a supercar is a muppet.

Interesting... I fall into your categories of 'ridiculous' and 'muppet', as my 2.0TDi S-Line Avant is specced with the 20" rotors shod in 255/35/20 rubber.




I'm not sure how me buying something that was supplied by the factory/brand categorises me in that way, especially as the wheels [in my opinion] suit the car well and don't look out of proportion to the rest of the car. If I was driving around in the aftermarket/replica A3 mentioned previously in this thread, then maybe, but your generalisations above perplex me, somewhat, for my situation...


My point was the width of the tyres for the type of vehicle. I would think that 205 tyres would be more than enough and probably a lot easier to drive in bad weather (snow for example)
