The tires and rims are essential
parts of the vehicle's design .
The tires and rims approved by
Audi are specially matched to
the characteristics of the vehi-
cle and can make a major con-
tribution to good road holding
and safe handling when in good
condition and properly inflated
¢ ,&..
We recommend that all work
on tires and wheels be per-
formed by an authorized Audi
dealer. They are familiar with
recommended procedures and
have the necessary special too l s
and spare parts as well as the
proper facilities for disposing of
the old ti res.
Autho rized Audi dealers have
the necessary information
about technical requirements
for installing or changing tires
and rims .
Replacing tires and wheels
Tires should be replaced at
least in pairs and not individu-
ally (for example both front
tires or both rear tires togeth-
er).
Be sure to read and heed the in-
formation to the tire pressure
monitoring system
