Audi tyre tips
- Quattro all-wheel-drive Audis need all four tyres within about 2 mm of tread depth of each other to protect the centre differential.
- AO-marked tyres are developed with Audi for that model; non-marked tyres fit but may feel different in steering.
- The Q7 and Q8 on 21 or 22 inch wheels are heavy; use an XL-rated tyre with the correct load index.
Common factory tyres on Audi: Continental, Pirelli, Michelin, Bridgestone, Hankook.

When to replace the tyres
Small hatchbacks often get 45,000–60,000 km from a set because they are light, but many are driven short distances and reach five years first. Hot hatches on performance tyres usually need fronts every 25,000–35,000 km.
Small hatchbacks typically need a load index of 79–88 with a T or H speed rating. Larger and sporty hatchbacks such as the Golf and Mini Cooper S use 91–94 with V or W ratings, often XL. Mini models fitted with run-flats are marked RSC, RFT or SSR on the sidewall.
