Audi Genuine Tyres
Audi Genuine Tyres with the marking "AO" are
specially matched to your Audi. When used prop­
erly, these tyres meet the highest standards in
safety and handling. Your specialist retailer will
be glad to provide more information.
Tyre wear / damage

A
WARNING
- Use only tyre/rim combinations and match­
ing wheel bolts approved by Audi. Otherwise
damage to the vehicLe and an accident could
result.
- For technical reasons, it is not possible to
use wheels from other vehicles. In certain
cases, it is not even possible to use wheels
from another vehicle of the same model.
- It is very important to ensure that the tyres
you have chosen have adequate clearance.
When selecting replacement tyres, do not
rely entirely on the nominal tyre size
marked on the tyre; with some makes of
tyre the effective tyre size can differ signifi­
cantly from the nominal dimensions, even
though the tyres have the same size desig­

nation.
Inadequate tyre clearance can result
in damage to the tyres or the vehicle, caus­
ing a serious safety risk.
- Avoid running the car on tyres that are more
than 6 years old. If
you
have no alternative,
you should drive slowly and with extra care
at all times.
- The use of run-flat tyres on your vehicle is
NOT authorised! Unauthorised use can cause
an accident or damage your vehicLe.
- If wheel trims are fitted after the car is pur­

chased,
ensure that there is an adequate
flow of air for cooling the brakes - risk of ac­
cident!

Tyre wear
Inspect the tyres regularly for damage.
- The wear on under or over-inflated tyres is
sig­

nificantly higher.
- Fast cornering, heavy acceleration and hard
braking all increase tyre wear.
- If
you
notice excessive tyre wear, have the
wheel alignment checked by a qualified work­

shop.

- Have your tyres rebalanced if steering wheel vi­
brations indicate an imbalance. Otherwise, the
tyres and other parts of the vehicLe may wear
faster.
Tread wear indicators
The original tyres on your vehicle have 1.6 mm
high tread wear indicators
^>Fig.
252 running
across the tread at regular intervals. The letters

"TWI"
or triangles on the sidewall indicate the
positions of the tread wear indicators.
The minimum tread
depth1)
is reached
at
the lat­
est when the tread is worn down to the tread
wear indicators. Replace the tyres with new ones
Changing wheels round
Wheels should be changed round regularly to en­
sure that the wear is equal on all tyres. Fit the
wheels from the rear axle on the front axle and
vice-versa. All the tyres will then last for about
the same time.

Please observe the applicable regulations in the country in
which you are travelling.

All-weather tyres can also be used instead of
winter tyres. Please note that winter tyres
with the
A
symbol are required by law during
the winter season in some countries.
Snow chains
Snow chains will improve braking ability as well
as traction in winter conditions.
• Snow chains can be used on the front wheels
only. This also applies to vehicles with four-
wheel drive*.

•
Check that the snow chains are correctly seated
after driving for
a
few yards; follow the instruc­
tions given by the manufacturer.

•
Keep your speed below 50 km/h. Please ob­
serve the applicable local regulations.
Only use snow chains with fine-pitch links. The
links must not protrude more than 13.5 mm
from the tyres (including tensioner).
You must remove the snow chains on roads which
are free of snow; otherwise the vehicLe handling
may be impaired and the tyres may be damaged.
For technical reasons snow chains may only be
used on tyres with certain wheel rim/tyre combi­
nations.

A WARNING

UnsuitabLe

chains can cause you to lose control of the ve­

risk

© CAUTION
Snow chains can damage the rim/hubcap* if
they make direct contact with it. Remove the
hubcaps* beforehand. Use snow chains which
have a protective coating.
© Note
When driving with snow chains, it may help to
switch on off-road mode

Low-profile tyres
Applies to: vehicles with low-profile tyres
Your vehicLe is fitted with low-profile tyres* as
standard equipment. Low-profile tyres have a
lower sidewall and provide a wider tread surface
and rim diameter than other wheel/tyre combi­
nations. This makes the car's handling more

agile.
However, the ride may be Less comfortable
on poor-quality roads and tracks, and rolling
noise may be louder.
Low-profile tyres can be damaged more quickly
than standard tyres, for example by heavy jolts,
potholes, manhole covers, speed humps and

kerbs.
It is therefore particularly important to
ensure that they are inflated to the correct pres­
sure
o
page 307.
Drive with particular care on poor-quality roads
to ensure that you do not damage the rims and

tyres.

Make sure to check your wheels regularly (every
3,000 km) for damage such as blisters/tears on
the tyre sidewalls or deformations/cracks on the

rims.

After a heavy jolt, or if any damage occurs, you
should have the rims and tyres checked and if
necessary replaced by
a
qualified workshop.
Tyre wear occurs more quickly on low-profile
tyres than on standard tyres.
Summer tyres are not suitable for cold condi­

tions,
snow or ice. Use winter or all-season tyres
when driving in these conditions

Tyre pressure loss indicator lamp
Applies to: vehicles with tyre pressure loss indicator

The
tyre pressure loss indicator in the instrument
cluster informs the driver if the tyre pressure is
too low or a system malfunction has occurred.
The tyre pressure loss indicator makes use of the
ABS sensors to compare the rolling circumfer­
ence and the vibration of the tyres. If changes in

not possible to tighten the bolts to the re­
quired torque using the hexagonal socket

risk
of accident!
© CAUTION
When removing/fitting the wheel the rim
may hit and damage the brake disc. For this

reason,
please take care and get
a
second per­
son to assist you.

(T) Note

The wheel bolts are easier to remove from the
wheel rim if
you
use the hexagonal socket in
the screwdriver handle. The reversible screw­
driver blade should be removed as a precau­
tionary measure when the tool is used for this
purpose.
Tyres with directional tread pattern
A directional tread pattern can be identified by
arrows on the sidewall that point in the direction
of rotation. Always note the direction of rotation
indicated when mounting the wheel. This is im­
portant so that these tyres can give maximum
grip and avoid excessive noise, tread wear and
aquaplaning.
If
you
ever have a puncture and need to fit the
spare wheel* in the wrong direction, please drive
with extra care because the tyre will not give op­
timum performance in this situation. Bear this in
mind particularly when driving on wet roads.
To benefit from the advantages of tyres with this
type of tread pattern, the defective tyre should
be replaced and refitted as soon as possible so
that all tyres again rotate in the correct direction.
After changing a wheel
• Fit the hubcap or wheel bolt caps back on, as

required.

• Put the tools and jack back in the luggage com­
partment.
• If the replaced wheel will not fit into the spare
wheel
well,
stow it safely in the luggage com­
partment
*page
272.
• Check the tyre pressure of the fitted wheel as
soon as possible.
• On vehicles with tyre pressure loss indicator,
adjust the tyre pressures and store them via the
infotainment system
opage
311.
• The wheel bolts should be tightened to 140

Nm.
Have this checked as soon as possibLe with
a torque wrench. Until
then,
drive with caution.
• Have the flat tyre replaced as quickly as possi­

ble.

sary, replaced.
PLease note the following restrictions when using
the compact temporary spare wheel. The com­
pact temporary spare wheel is designed specifi­

tighten it with the box spanner.
• Put the towline anchorage back in the tool kit
after use.
Vehicles with towing bracket*
The removable
ball
joint must be attached before
you can use the towing bracket:
• Insert the ball joint
*page
99.
• Attach the tow-bar or the tow-rope to the ball
joint.
On some models, the shape of the cap can vary.
Vehicles which have a factory-fitted towing
bracket* do not have a screw connection at the
rear for the towline anchorage.
WARNING
If the towline anchorage is not screwed in as
far as the stop, there is a risk of the screw
connection shearing off during towing - risk
of accident!
© CAUTION
To avoid damaging the towing bracket*, only
use tow-bars with suitable attachments. If
a

tow-bar is not available, a tow-rope may be

used.
