Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Are premium-brand tyres worth it on a Audi A5?
On a Audi A5, premium tyre brands (Michelin, Continental, Bridgestone, Pirelli, Goodyear) typically deliver longer tread life, better wet grip and quieter rolling. The cost difference is usually recouped over the tyre's life.
What tyre size does the 2009-2016 Audi A5 use?

What do star/OEM markings mean on Audi A5 tyres?
Audi approves specific tyres for many of its models, marked with a star (BMW), MO (Mercedes), AO (Audi), J (Jaguar) or similar. OEM-marked tyres are tuned for that car's suspension and don't always come from the major brand-name fitter as a stock item — they may need to be ordered.
Are run-flat tyres needed on the 2009-2016 Audi A5?
Most 2009-2016 Audi A5 cars were supplied with conventional tyres and a spare or repair kit. Only fit run-flats if your specific car was originally specified with them and has tyre pressure monitoring.
What does the chassis code 8T mean for tyre choice?
