Find Tyres for Audi

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.

• What does it mean if my Audi has TPMS?

  Tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS) is fitted to most modern Audi cars. It warns you when one or more tyres drop below set pressure. After replacing tyres or wheels, the system may need resetting via a button or diagnostic tool.

• Are premium-brand tyres worth it on a Audi?

  On premium cars like a Audi, top-tier tyres (Michelin, Continental, Bridgestone, Pirelli, Goodyear) typically deliver longer tread life, lower cabin noise and better wet grip — often justifying the higher upfront cost.

• Are Audi OEM-marked tyres different from standard ones?

  Audi works with tyre makers to develop OEM-marked versions tuned for specific models — typically with adjusted compound and structure. OEM markings (e.g. star, MO, AO) match the car's suspension calibration but aren't always the cheapest replacement option.

• Do I have to use Audi-approved tyres?

  Approved tyres are recommended for performance and warranty consistency, but UK law and MOT only require tyres that match the original size, load index and speed rating. Many drivers use major-brand non-approved tyres successfully.

• What's the most common UK Audi tyre size?

  Common Audi sizes vary by model and trim. Mid-range variants often use sizes around 205/55 R16, 225/45 R17 or 225/40 R18. Always confirm against the sidewall and door placard of your specific car.
