Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
What speed rating is required for the 2013-2020 Audi S3?
Performance variants of the Audi S3 typically require a Y-rated (300 km/h) or W-rated (270 km/h) tyre. Match or exceed the original speed rating shown on your sidewall โ fitting a lower-rated tyre can affect handling and may be illegal on certain models.
Where should I check the original tyre size for my Audi S3?
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.
What should Audi S3 drivers know about UK potholes?
UK road conditions are tough on tyres. Check sidewall bulges, cuts and tread depth regularly โ especially on the inside edge, which often wears unevenly. A 20p coin gives a quick legal-tread check.
Are all-season tyres suitable for the Audi S3?
All-season tyres carrying the 3PMSF snowflake symbol are a sensible choice for UK Audi S3 drivers who don't want to swap between summer and winter sets. Confirm the size and load rating match your OEM spec.

This is the 2013-2020 generation of the Audi S3. Earlier and later generations use different platforms, wheel sizes and tyre fitments, so always match your specific year to the correct generation page.
