Tire Size Confusion/Question

Jul 20, 2004 0 Replies

Hello-



I am seeking replacement tires for my 2002 Audi A4 1.8, with Quattro AWD.



The sidewalls of the tires on the car now (Pirelli P6's) say:



215/65R16.

I would like to replace them with Falken ZE512 tires. However, I have not been able to find the exact size replacement for my current tires anywhere. I HAVE found them in 215/60HR16.



The interesting thing is that when you input my car into most tire-seller sites, it doesn't even list the size of my present tires as an option.



As I understand it, the "65" is the aspect ratio, so that the "60" tire will have a "shorter" height than my present tire. Will that cause any problems? Will my speedometer and odometer be inaccurate?



Thanks for your help- Brad
