Audi Allroad proper off road tyres

[brisel]

My boss has just been given a 2004 A6 Allroad by an elderly relative who has handed in her licence. He has a daily driver so the Allroad will just be for pottering around the farm replacing a knackered Nissan X Trail. Tyre size is 225/55 R17.

Is it possible to fit some proper off road tyres? The current shoes are mostly road type. The vehicle will be doing some pretty horrible & steep tracks so the suspension will be at full height most of the time - the General Grabber AT2s on the X Trail were perfect for the job.

General Grabber don't do AT's in that size. Any suggestions?

I did post this in the Audi forum but have had no replies.

Thanks for the replies.

According to Allroad FAQ 16" rims aren't meant to go on the car. UHPs will have to do.

Cheers. Those Falkens should do the business. The higher profile won't scrape wheel arches, will they? The 10mm less width should help.

I will report them to the insurers as a modification just to be safe as they aren't standard sized tyres.
