• Winter tires with studs should be run
only at moderate speeds when new in order
to give the studs time to settle.
Do not drive a vehicle equipped with
winter tires at prolonged high
speed.
Winter tires use a softer rubber compound
and a deeper tread pattern and therefore
have a lower speed rating and reduced trac
tion and durability when used on dry roads.
• When winter tires or all season tires are
mounted, make sure you observe the
speed limitations for which the tire is rated.
The following speed rating code letters are
applicable:
0- up to 1 00 mph (160 km/h)
T- up to 118 mph (190km/h)
H- up to 130 mph (210 lcm/h). �W
ARNING
• Winter tires available for your
vehicle may have a maximum
speed rating which is less than the
maximum speed of your vehicle.
• Driving faster than the maxi
mum speed for which tires are
rated and approved will lead to
sudden tire failure. This can cause
loss of vehicle control and lead to
an accident and personal injury.
• Never operate a vehicle at
speeds greater than the maximum
speed rating of its tires.
• Always observe speed limits
and adjust your vehicle to prevail
ing road and traffic conditions.
Snow chains
• For engineering reasons, snow chains
must only be installed on special winter ti
res• 1).

CLE CARE
• If you want to mount snow chains
on your vehicle, consult your Audi
Dealer for proper rim I tire combina
tion.
• Snow chains should only be
installed on the rear wheels, never
on the front wheels.
Where snow chains are mandatory
on certain roads, this normally also
applies to vehicles with All Wheel
Drive.
When you install snow chains,
check the tire air pressure first to
make sure it's correct, otherwise the
chains will not fit the wheel prop
erly.
Only use chains with fine pitch links protrud
ing no more than 1h inch (15 mm), including
tensioner, from tire tread and side walls.
Wheels must rotate freely in all steering
positions with chains mounted to prevent
damage to body, axle or brake components.
Drive slowly and follow the chain
manuf acturer's instructions.
Remove chains when roads are free of
snow. Otherwise, the chains can damage
the tires and impair vehicle handling.
