Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Are premium-brand tyres worth it on a Audi A6?
On a Audi A6, 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.
The A6 uses 19" or larger wheels — what should I know?
Larger wheels mean lower-profile tyres with shorter sidewalls — that means firmer ride, more pothole sensitivity and shorter tyre life on UK roads. Premium tyres usually repay the extra cost on cars with 19"+ wheels.
What tyre size does the 2018-present Audi A6 use?
Common UK factory fitments for the 2018-present Audi A6 include 225/55 R17, 245/45 R18, 255/40 R19, 255/35 R20. The exact size depends on the wheel and trim ordered — always confirm on your tyre sidewall before fitting.
Are OEM tyres still fitted to new Audi A6 cars?
New UK Audi A6 cars leave the factory with original-equipment (OEM) tyres specified by Audi. When replacing, you can stay on the same OEM brand or move to an alternative provided the size, load index and speed rating match.
What wet grip should I look for on the Audi A6?
For UK driving conditions, prioritise an EU tyre label wet-grip rating of A or B. Wet grip directly affects braking distance — the gap between A and E ratings can be more than a car length at 50 mph.
