Find Tyres for 2008-2010 Audi RS 6 (C6)
Common factory fitments and replacement guidance for the 2008-2010 Audi RS 6.
About this generation
The 2008-2010 Audi RS 6 bridges the modern era of standardised tyre sizing in the UK — most replacement sizes are still in active production from major brands.
This generation of the RS 6 runs on 19-inch or larger wheels in some trims, which means short-sidewall tyres that handle precisely but are less forgiving on rough UK roads.
Chassis code: C6. Use the chassis code to confirm you have the right generation when ordering tyres.
Common factory tyre sizes
UK-market factory fitments for the 2008-2010 Audi RS 6 typically include:
Wet grip is the most relevant EU label rating for UK driving. On the RS 6, prioritise wet grip A or B for shorter braking in rain.
Audi works with tyre makers to develop OEM-marked versions for the RS 6, tuned for the car's suspension calibration. Star, MO, AO or J markings indicate manufacturer-approved tyres.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Are run-flat tyres needed on the 2008-2010 Audi RS 6?
Most 2008-2010 Audi RS 6 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 wet grip should I look for on the Audi RS 6?
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.
What should Audi RS 6 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.
The RS 6 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 do star/OEM markings mean on Audi RS 6 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.
