Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Can I downsize from larger wheels on my Audi A5?
Some trims of the A5 can be downsized to a smaller OEM-approved wheel, which often gives better ride and lower tyre cost. Audi usually publishes approved alternative sizes — check the handbook before changing wheel size.
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 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.
Where should I check the original tyre size for my Audi A5?
Look in three places: (1) the sidewall of the existing tyre, (2) the placard inside the driver's door frame, and (3) the vehicle handbook. The driver's door placard is the official OEM specification, and the sidewall confirms what's fitted now.
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.
