Audi A6 Typ 4G: Wheels and Tires

General information

  • Check your tires regularly for damage (punctures, cuts, cracks and bulges). Remove foreign objects from the tire tread.
  • If driving over curbs or similar obstacles, drive slowly and approach the curb at an angle.
  • Have faulty tires or rims replaced immediately.
  • Protect your tires from oil, grease and fuel.
  • Mark tires before removing them so that the same running direction can be maintained if they are reinstalled.
  • Lay tires flat when storing and store them in a cool, dry location with as little exposure to light as possible.

Note

  • Please note that summer and winter tires are designed for the conditions that are typical in those seasons. Audi recommends using winter tires during the winter months. Low temperatures significantly decrease the elasticity of summer tires, which affects traction and braking ability. If summer tires are used in very cold temperatures, cracks can form on the tread bars, resulting in permanent tire damage that can cause loud driving noise and unbalanced tires.
  • Burnished, polished or chromed rims must not be used in winter driving conditions.

    The surface of the rims does not have sufficient corrosion protection for this and could be permanently damaged by road salt or similar substances.
