    2022 S5 Black Optics Wheel - Tire options?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    We just purchased a 2022 S5 SB with the black optics package. Awesome car but we'd like to replace the summer tires with some all-season tires that will work better year round and in snow. We had good luck with the performance and wear of the A/S 3+ on our last Audi so I'm strongly considering those. The closest size I could find is the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ 275/30ZR20. These are slightly wider section width than the factory tire. Would these fit without rubbing on the factory wheels with no spacers etc? I didn't think it would be an issue but just wanted to make sure. Any recommendations for other tires we should look at would be greatly appreciated as well.

    I just put on some continental all season 275/30/20s and thy fit just fine. You can use the discount tire website select 20” then view optional sizes to see more

    AS3+ was updated with the Pilot Sport 4 All Season, FYI. I put them in my RS5 and they're gripping great. They're also the OEM tire on the new vette.

    I’ve got the Michelins all seasons and they hold the snow and ice great, I had the continentals on for a day and they were awful, felt like a wheel was coming off - they were far too soft luckily they replaced free of charge for me

    I, too, have Michelin Pilot Sport 4 All Season 275/30/20 on 20" OEM black optic wheels on my '21 S5 SB and no rubbing or other issues.

    Thank you all for the info. I didn't realize this tire had been replaced by the AS 4, appreciate you pointing that out.
