Common factory fitments and replacement guidance for the 2015-2024 Audi R8.
About this generation
Performance variants of the Audi R8 need W- or Y-rated tyres with a higher-grip compound. Replacements should match or exceed the original speed rating shown on the sidewall.
The current-generation Audi R8 (2015-2024) is sold in the UK with a small set of factory tyre sizes per trim. Replacement tyres should match the size, load index and speed rating of what came on your specific car.
Chassis code: 4S. Use the chassis code to confirm you have the right generation when ordering tyres.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
What do star/OEM markings mean on Audi R8 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 2015-2024 Audi R8?
Most 2015-2024 Audi R8 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.
Why does the same R8 generation list multiple tyre sizes?
Within one generation of the R8, Audi offered different wheel sizes by trim and option pack. A Sport or M Sport variant might use wider, lower-profile tyres than the entry trim. Always go by the actual wheel fitted to your car.
Are premium-brand tyres worth it on a Audi R8?
On a Audi R8, 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 R8 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.
