250 Tires and wheels
that can lead to sudden tire
failure and loss of vehicle
control.
-All four wheels must be fit ted with radial tires of the
same type, size (rolling cir
cumference) and the same
tread pattern. Driving with
different tires reduces vehi
cle handling and can lead to
a loss of control.
-If the replacement tire is
not the same as the tires
that are mounted on the ve hicle -for example with win
ter tires -only use the re
placement tire for a short
period of time and drive
with extra care. Refit the
normal road wheel as soon
as safely possible.
-Never drive faster than the
maximum speed for which
the tires on your vehicle are rated because tires that are
driven faster than their rat
ed speed can fail suddenly.
-Overloading tires cause heat build-up, sudden tire fail
ure, including a blowout
and sudden deflation and
loss of control. -Temperature
grades apply
to tires that are properly in
flated and not over or un derinflated .
-For technical reasons it is not always possible to use
wheels from other vehicles -
in some cases not even
wheels from the same vehi
cle model.
-If you install wheel trim
discs on the vehicle wheels,
make sure that the air flow
to the brakes is not blocked .
Reduced airflow to the
brakes can them to over
heat, increasing stopping
distances and causing a col
lision.
-Run flat tires may only be used on vehicles that were
equipped with them at the
factory. The vehicle must
have a chassis designed for
run flat tires . Incorrect use
of run flat tires can lead to
vehicle damage or acci
dents. Check with an au
thorized Audi dealer or tire
specialist to see if your vehi
cle can be equipped with
run flat tires. If run flat tires .,.
