Legal requirements → Chapter
l  The wheel/tyre combinations and conversions listed in the tables for the individual models refer exclusively to Audi Genuine wheels/rims.
l  It is not possible to approve wheel/tyre combinations or conversions for wheels/rims from accessories dealers with the tyre approval certificate.
l  Tubeless radial tyres may only be fitted to rims with a safety hump feature on the shoulder (e.g. round hump).
l  Run-flat tyres (with reinforced side wall) must only be fitted on wheels with extended hump and vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring.
l  The correct tyre pressures must be observed when the specified wheel/tyre combinations are used. The tyre pressures for summer tyres are indicated on the sticker inside the fuel tank flap and in the tables for the individual vehicles.
l  Sufficient clearance between the wheels/tyres and the wheel housings, suspension and brake system components is ensured under all operating conditions if the instructions and conditions specified in the approval certificate are observed.
l  Unless specified otherwise, snow chains may only be fitted on the driven wheels. On four-wheel drive vehicles, snow chains may only be fitted on the front wheels (exception: rear wheels also on Audi Q5).
