Winter tyres for Audi A7 - which wheel size is best?

I want to order some winter tyres for my Audi A7 quattro. The car currently has 20-inch wheels, but I’m thinking it would be better to go down to 18s for the winter tyres. What do you think?

Yes, better to switch to 18-inch. The most likely people to be able to help you at this late stage is the German supplier: www.mytyres.co.uk , but also try www.tyremen.co.uk
