Audi Genuine Tyres
Audi Genuine Tyres with the marking "AO" are
specially matched to your Audi. When used prop
erly, these tyres meet the highest standards in
safety and handling. Your specialist retailer will
be glad to provide more information.
_& WARNING
- Use only tyre/rim combinations and match
ing wheel bolts approved by Audi. Otherwise
damage to the vehicle and an accident could
result.
- For technical reasons, it is not possible to
use wheels from other vehicles. In certain
cases, it is not even possible to use wheels
from another vehicle of the same model.
- It is very important to ensure that the tyres
you have chosen have adequate clearance.
When selecting replacement tyres, do not
rely entirely on the nominal tyre size
marked on the tyre; with some makes of
tyre the effective tyre size can differ signifi
cantly from the nominal dimensions, even
though the tyres have the same size desig
nation. Inadequate tyre clearance can result
in damage to the tyres or the vehicle, caus
ing a serious safety risk.
-Avoid running the car on tyres that are more
than 6 years old. If you have no alternative,
you should drive slowly and with extra care
at all times.
- The use of run-flat tyres on your vehicle is
NOT authorised! Unauthorised use can cause
an accident or damage your vehicle.
- If wheel trims are fitted after the car is pur
chased, ensure that there is an adequate
flow of air for cooling the brakes -risk of ac
cident!

Tyre wear / damage
Fig. 221 Tyre tread: Tread wear indicators
Tyre wear
Inspect the tyres regularly for damage.
- The wear on under or over-inflated tyres is sig
nificantly higher.
- Fast cornering, heavy acceleration and hard
braking all increase tyre wear.
- If you notice excessive tyre wear, have the
wheel alignment checked by a qualified work
shop.
- Have your tyres rebalanced if steering wheel vi
brations indicate an imbalance. Otherwise, the
tyres and other parts of the vehicle may wear
faster.
Tread wear indicators
The original tyres on your vehicle have 1.6 mm
high tread wear indicators
¢ Fig.
221 running
across the tread at regular intervals. The letters
"TWI" or triangles on the sidewall indicate the
positions of the tread wear indicators.
The minimum tread depth 1
) is reached at the lat
est when the tread is worn down to the tread
wear indicators. Replace the tyres with new ones
¢ _8..
Changing wheels round
Wheels should be changed round regularly to en
sure that the wear is equal on all tyres. Fit the
wheels from the rear axle on the front axle and
vice-versa. All the tyres will then last for about
the same time.
