Wheels
front and rear axles are the same
size ¢ &.
Rotating the tires regularly is rec-
ommended to ensure the tires
wear evenly . To rotate the tires,
install the tires from the rear axle
on the front axle and vice versa.
This will allow the tires to have
approximately the same length of
service life.
For unidirectional tires, make
sure the tires are installed accord-
ing to the running direction indi-
cated on the tire sidewall
¢page 368.
Hidden damage
Damage to tires and rims can of-
ten occur in locations that are
hidden . Unusual vibrations in the
vehicle or pulling to one side may
indicate that there is tire damage.
Reduce your speed immediately.
Check the tires for damage. If no
damage is visible from the out-
side, drive slowly and carefully to
the nearest authorized Audi deal-
er or authorized Audi Service Fa-
cility to have the vehicle inspect-
ed .

.&_ WARNING
-Tread that has worn too low or
different tread depths on the
tires can reduce driving safety.
This can increase the risk of an
accident because it has a neg-
ative effect on handling, driv-
ing through curves, and brak-
ing, and because it increases
the risk of hydroplaning when
driving through deep puddles.
- Applies to: RS models: de-
pending on the equipment,
the widths of the standard
summer tires may be different
on the front and rear axles.
The wider tires are mounted
on the front axle. The tires
must not be rotated .
