& WARN ING (continued )
• Always maintain the correct tightening torque for the wheel
bolt s to reduce the risk of a wheel loss . If the tightening torque of
the wheel bolts is too low, they can loo sen and come out when the
vehicle is moving . If the tightening torque is too high , the wheel
bolts and threads can be d amaged and the wheel can be come
loose .
0 Note
The specified torque for the whee l bo lts is 90 ft lbs . (120 Nm) with a
tolerance of ± 7,4 ft lbs .(± 10 Nml. Torque wheel bo lts diagona lly.
Af te r cha ng ing a whe el, the torque mus t be checked as so on as
possible with a torque wrench -preferably by an authorized Audi

Low as pect rat io tires
Yo ur Audi is fac tory-equipped with l ow aspec t ratio tires . Thes e tires
have been thorough ly tested and been selected specifically for your
m odel f or their superb pe rformance, r oad feel and hand ling under
a variety of driving conditions . Ask your authorized Audi dealer for
m ore deta ils .
T he low aspec t rat io of these ti res is indicated by a nu meral o f
55 or
less
in the tire's si ze designation. The numeral represents the ratio
o f the tire's sid ewa ll heig ht in relat ion t o it s tread w idth express ed
in percentage. Conventiona l tires have a height/width ratio of 60 or
m ore .
The performance of low -aspect -ratio tires is particularly sensitive to
improper inflation pressure . It is therefore important that low
aspect ratio tires are inflated to the specified pres sure and that the
i nflation pressure is regularly checked and maintained . Tire pres
sures should be checked at least once a month and alway s before a
long trip ~
page 293, "Checking tire pr essure".
What you can do to avoid tire and rim damage
Lo w aspec t r ati o t ir es ca n be da maged more easi ly by impact wi th
potholes, curbs, gullies or ridges on the road, particularly if the tire
i s un derinflate d.
In order to minimize t he occurrence o f impac t damage to the t ires
of your vehicle , we recommend that you observe the following
p recau tions:
• Always ma intain recommended inflation pressures . Check your
t ire pressure every 2,000 miles (3,000 k m) and ad d air i f neces sa ry .
• D rive careful ly on roads with potholes, deep gullies or ridges.
Th e impa ct from driving throug h or over such o bstacles can
damage your tires. Impact with a curb may also cause damage to
you r ti res .
• After any impact, immediately inspect your tires or have them
inspected by the neares t autho rize d Audi deale r. R eplace a
damaged tire as soon as possib le.
• I nspect you r tir es eve ry 2 ,0 0 0 m iles (3 ,000 k m) for damage a nd
wear. Damage is not always easy to see. Damage can lead to loss of
a ir and under infla tion , wh ic h co ul d even tually cause tire fa ilu re . If
you believe t hat a tire may have been damaged , rep lace the tire as
soon as p ossi ble.
• T hese tires may wear more quickly than others .
• Please also re member th at, wh ile t hese tir es de liver respo nsive
handling, they may ride less comfortably and make more noise than
ot her c hoic es.
