2012 AUDI A5 COUPE fuel cap

264 Tire s and wheel s
contribution to good road ho lding and safe
handling when in good condition and properly
inflated ¢
,&.
We recommend that all work on tires and
wheels be perfo rmed by an authorized Audi
dea ler. They are familiar with recommended
proced ures and have the necessary spec ial
too ls and spare parts as well as the proper fa­
cilities for disposing of the old tires.
Authorized Audi dealers have the necessary information about techn ica l requ irements for
installing or changing tires and r ims.
R eplacing t ires and whe els
Tires sho uld be rep laced at least in pairs and
not individua lly (for examp le both front tires
or both rear tires together).
Be sure to read and heed the information to
the tire pressure monitoring system*
¢page 270.
Always buy rep lacement radial tires that have
the same specifications as the tires approved
for your vehicle by Audi. Replacement t ires
must always have the same load rating speci­
fication as the original equipment or approved
optional tires listed in the table
c:> page 256.
Aud i-approved specification ti res are specially
matched to your vehicle and its load limits,
and can contribute to the important road ho ld­
ing, driving characteristics, and safety of the
vehicle. The table
(<:>page 256) lists spec ifica­
tions of the tires approved for the Audi mod­
els covered by your Owner's Literature .
The tire pressure labe l (On USA vehicles, the
tire pressure label is located on the driver's
side B-pillar. On Canada veh icles, the tire pres­
sure label is located either on the driver's s ide
B-pillar or inside the fuel filler flap)
(¢page 256, fig. 211) lists the spec ificat ions
of the origina l equipment ti res installed on
your ve hicle a t the time it was manufactured.
Federal law requires t ire manufacturers to
p lace standard ized information on the s ide­
wall of all tires
c:> fig. 214. This information
ident ifies and describes the fund amental characteristics, the q
uality grade of the ti re
and also provides a tire identification n umber
for safety standard certification and in case of
a reca ll.
Tire specification s
Knowledge of ti re specif ications makes it eas­
ier to choose the co rrect tires. Radial tires
have the tire specifications marked on the
sidewa ll, for examp le:
P255 / 35 R1 9 96Y XL
This conta ins the following information :
P Indicates the tire is for passenger cars
(where app licab le)
2 55 Nom inal tire w idth in mm of the tire
from sidewall edge to sidewall edge. In
general, the larger the number, the wider
the tire
35 Height/w idt h ratio in percent (aspect ra-
t io)
R Tire construct ion: Radial
19 Rim diameter code (in inches)
96 Load rating code
Y Speed rating letter code
XL (or "xl", "E XTRA LOAD", or "RF" Indica tes
that the t ire is a"Re in forced" or an "Extra
Load" ti re
M+S (or "M/5") Indicates that the tire h as
some mud and snow capability
T he tires could also have the information of
direction of rotat io n ¢
page 252.
Tire manuf acturing date
The manufacturing date is also indicated on
the tire sidewall (possibly only on the
inner
side of the wheel):
"DOT ... 2209 ... "means, for example, that
the tire was produced in the 22nd week of
2009.
Speed rating (letter c ode )
The speed rating letter code on the whee ls in­
dicates the maximum permiss ible road speeds
c:> & in Winter tires on page 268 .
P up to 93 mph (150 km/h)

designated seating position) and luggage
weight~&. .
Gros s Axle W eight Rating
The G ross Axle Weight Rating is the maximum
l oad that can be applied at each axle of the
vehicle
q .&. .
Vehicle capacit y weight
The vehicle capac ity we ight (max. load) is list­
ed either on the dr iver's side B-pillar or inside
the fuel filler flap.
Roof weight
The maximum perm issible roof weight is 165
lbs. (7 5 kg). The roof we ight is made up of
the we ight of the roof rack system and the
weight of the object be ing transported
qpage 74, Roof load .
.&, WARNING
- The actual Gross Axle Weight Rat ing at
the front and rear axles shou ld not ex­
ceed the permiss ible weights, and their
combination must not exceed the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rat ing .
- Exceeding permissib le weight ratings can
result in vehicle damage, accidents and
personal injury.
CD Note
- The vehicle capacity weight figures apply
when the load is distributed evenly in the
vehicle (passengers and luggage). When
transporting a heavy load in the luggage
compartment, carry the load as near to
the rear axle as possib le so that the vehi­
cle's handling is not impa ired.
- Do not exceed the maximum permissible
axle loads or the maximum gross vehicle
weight. Always remember that the vehi­
cle's handling will be affected by the ex­
tra load. Therefore, adjust you r speed ac ­
cord ingly.
- Always observe loca l regu lations.

Dimensions
The specifications refer to the basic model.
Differences may occur depending on the mod­
el type and options ordered, for example, tire
sizes.
CD Note
When driving up steep ramps, on rough roads, over curbs, etc. it is important to re­
member that some parts of your vehicle,
such as spoilers or exhaust system compo­ nents, may be close to the ground . Be
careful not to damage them .
