Default How much are 20" tyres?

Still looking at the first a8. Hoping to speak to vendor tomrow.
How much do people pay for the 20" tyres?
With it being 4x4, is it vital for a matched set or at least pair across each axle? Just thinking about my experiences of my Legacy TT

TIA folks

Across an axle is more important.. but not essential but I'd be more keen on at least the same standard.

you can do either 1 or 3% out in circumference, but that's more than a worn tyre, so you're fine there. Fronts still wear a bit more than rears. 20s are anything up to 200+ a corner, depends on whether you go for part worns (60+) to brand new.. falkens, chinese specials, or all the way to pirelli or michelin.

I had a quote for Michelin recently of around £270 each - baring in mind when mine were last changed I have a bill for £300 each about 2 years ago.

If tyre cost is an issue and the wheels are all good then flog them for around a grand and buy some 18s
