There are quite a few Audi dealers selling on eBay now along with Mercedes, BMW and plenty more.

Thanks for the tip, I called them but they've shifted almost everything and have nothing in 18" anyway.

So, still looking..........

I've checked with Nasser @ DM tyres for you - he has none of these in at the moment, but will let me know if one comes in on his next delivery (he's sourcing me a set of winters at the moment…)

Was worth a try, good luck with the hunt


My 17" tyres arrived today, bit odd really buying tyres for a Mercedes from an Audi dealer

Thanks, I think I'm sorted now. Just ordered some on eBay.

Slightly mis-described so only found them with a rather vague search. Part-worn but about the same level as the ones I have fitted.
Pretty much "two for the price of one" (£112 delivered) so I'll decide exactly what to do when I get them and after consulting my tyre fitter.

Or maybe not......

Just looking again at the listing I noticed, upside down, small and blurred the words "run flat" on the edge of one photo of the details on the sidewall!

There is no mention whatsoever in the listing that these are runflat tyres.

Again. Fingers crossed. Previous error has been reversed and refunded.

Found a single tyre of the right sort with over 6mm tread at a reasonable price; seller confirmed NOT a run-flat and has no damage, punctures or repairs. Just paid for it.
