Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Where should I check the original tyre size for my Audi RS 4?
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 2000-2001 Audi RS 4?
Most 2000-2001 Audi RS 4 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.
Are all-season tyres suitable for the Audi RS 4?
All-season tyres carrying the 3PMSF snowflake symbol are a sensible choice for UK Audi RS 4 drivers who don't want to swap between summer and winter sets. Confirm the size and load rating match your OEM spec.
What does the chassis code B5 mean for tyre choice?
The B5 chassis code identifies this specific generation of the Audi RS 4. Tyre fitment guides and parts catalogues use the chassis code to match correct sizes, load indices and speed ratings — useful when ordering online.
What should Audi RS 4 drivers know about UK potholes?
UK road conditions are tough on tyres. Check sidewall bulges, cuts and tread depth regularly — especially on the inside edge, which often wears unevenly. A 20p coin gives a quick legal-tread check.
