New tires or wheels
Audi recommends having all work
on t ires or wheels performed by
an authorized Audi dealer or au­
thorized Audi Service Facility.
These facilities have the proper
know ledge and are eq uipped with
the required too ls and rep lace­
ment parts.
... New t ires do not yet have the
optim um gripping properties.
Drive carefully and at moderate
speeds for the first 35 0 m iles
(500 km) with new tires .
... Only use tires with the same de­
sign, size ( rolling circumfer ­
ence) , and as close to t he same
tread pattern as possible on a ll
four wheels .
...
Do not replace tires individually.
At least replace bo th tires on the
same axle at the same time .
... Audi recommends that you use
Audi O riginal Tires. If you would
like to use di fferent tires, please

Determining correct load
limit
Use the example below to calcu­
late the total weight of the pas ­
sengers and luggage or other
things that you plan to transport
so that you can make sure that
your vehic le w ill not be over load­
ed .
Steps for Determining Correct
Load Limit
1. L ocate the statement "TH E
COMBINED WEIGH T OF OCCU­
PANTS AND CARGO SHOULD
NEVER EXCEED XXX KG OR XXX
L BS" on your vehicle's placard
(tire inflation pressure label)
¢ page 335, fig . 269 .
2. Determine the combined
weight of the driver and pas ­
sengers that w ill be riding in
your vehic le .
3. Subt ract the combined weight
of the driver and passengers
from "XXX" kilograms or "XXX"
Wheels
pounds shown on the stick­
er ¢ page 335, fig. 269 .
4. The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity . For ex­
ample , if the
"XXX" amount
equa ls
1400 lbs . and there will
be five
150 l bs . passengers in
your vehicle, the amount of
available cargo and luggage
load capacity is
650 lbs .
(1 400- 750 (5 X 1 50) = 650
lbs .)
5. Determine the comb ined
weight of luggage and cargo
being loaded on the vehicle .
T hat weight may not safely ex­
ceed the availab le cargo and
luggage load capacity calculat­
ed in Step 4 .
6 . If your vehicle will be towing a
tra iler, load from your tra iler
w ill be transferred to your ve ­
hicle. Consult this manual to
determine how this reduces
the availab le cargo and lug­
gage load capacity of your veh i­
c le .
.,. Check the tire sidewall
(¢ page 326, fig . 266) to deter ­
mine the designated load rat ing
for a specific t ire .
