Run-flat tires
Introduction
Appli es to vehicl es: wi th Run-fla t tires
Run-flat tires help keep you moving if a tire
goes flat.
Reinforced sidewalls give the ti res run-flat ca-
pability if tire pressure is lost .
We recommend that run-flat tires only be
mounted on vehicles that were originally
equipped with these special t ires at the facto-
ry and have a Tire Pressure Mon itor ing Sys-
tem.
Run-flat tires can be identified by the letters
"RSC" on the tire sidewall .
If you do change the tires on your vehicle from
normal to run-flat tires ., you must buy the
special rims required for run-flat tires, and the
Tire Pressure Monitor ing System must be re-
programmed by an authorized Audi dealer or
other qualified workshop .
What do run-flat tires do?
These special t ires have run-flat capabili ties
that help keep you moving if a t ire loses pres-
sure and goes f lat . Under favorab le condit ions
t ires can be dr iven
at least 30 miles (50 km),
but you must not drive faster th an 50 mph
(80 km/ h)
