New tires or wheels
Audi recommends
having all work
on tires or wheels performed by
an authorized Audi dealer or au-
thorized Audi Service Facility.
These facilities have the proper
knowledge and are equipped with
the required tools and replace-
ment parts.
.,.New tires do not yet have the
optimum adhesion properties.
Drive carefully and at moderate
speeds for the first 350 miles
(500 km) with new tires .
.,.Use tires of the same construc-
tion, size (rolling circumference)
and as close to the same tread
pattern as possible on all four
wheels .

.,.Do not replace tires individually.
At least replace both tires on the
same axle at the same time.
.,.Audi recommends
that you use
Audi Original equipment tires. If
you would like to use different
tires, please note that the tires
may perform differently even if
they are the same size ¢
,& .
.,. If you would like to equip your
vehicle with a tire/rim combina-
tion that is different from what
was installed at the factory, con-
sult with an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service
Facility before making a pur-
chase ¢ &,.
The spare tire* is different from
the regular tires installed on the
vehicle - for example, if winter
tires or wide tires are installed -
then only use the spare tire* tem-
porarily in case of emergency and
drive carefully while it is in use. It
should be replaced with a regular
tire as soon as possible.
On all wheel drive vehicles, all
four wheels must be equipped
with tires that are the same brand
and have the same construction
and tread pattern so that the
drive system is not damaged by
