Well done. It's the same size I use and a bargain at that price, but I still got plenty of tread on mine. And it was not that bad deal for myself, got a set of part used 2 year old GoodYear Eagle F1's with 7-7.5mm tread for £200 fitted last year but to be honest I am disappointed at cold weather and wet performance. Even this morning it was 11.5C dry and they started to oversteer going round the roundabout, had to hit the brake to shift the weight forward and get front under control, and they seem to wear quite fast. They have good grip in warmer weather though. My favorites have to be Michelins and Continentals lack slightly behind Michelin in performance but lasts just as long.
Would like to hear back how you get on with these.

Not a problem, I'll put up here how I get on, I've also up sized my tyres to a 45 profile from 40, I usually use uniroyals or hankooks, the uniroyals are a very good tyre for there price, brilliant wet grip esp with the RS3's, until my tyres turned up I wasn't sure whether the spare would fit in the well, I'm glad to say it does
 there isn't any room for error and hopefully once the tyre is mounted on a rim it will still fit haha!

255/45x19 are the correct size for the D3, same as I have fitted on mine.

http://www.vagcat.com/epc/cat/au/A8Q...91/54/3715922/ There isn't enough speedo margin on a 45 profile tyre it's 1-2mph out, where as on a 40 profile tyre it's close to 5mph which is the norm usually. Edit: what is good to know is that your spare fits then by the sounds of things as I was a bit worried at first it wouldn't fit

Got the tyres fitted, all 5 and air con recharged by a mate for £40 all in so happy chappy
Spare just about fitted in boot, I thought it wasn't going to go in but did with a push the air on is freezing cold now, just in time for some of the hotter days, it can't of been done since new as it was useless before, the tyre have only done about 5 miles so hard to tell yet but seem quieter than the dunlops that came off, hopefully I loose the uneasy feel like a bush is worn that seemed to start when the dunlops where fitted.
