| The purpose of this revised information is to supplement your existing knowledge and experience. |
| Our customers should always receive competent and plausible answers to their questions regarding „wheels and tyres“. |
| By providing this information we want to help you make reliable and safe assessments when dealing with tyre damage and related problems. |
| In this chapter you will learn more about tyres and wheels/rims. |
| Tyres are high-tech products that are especially adapted to the requirements of modern vehicles. |
| As with all highly developed technical products, tyres require proper care, maintenance and service. This is essential to ensure safety, performance and comfort for the entire service life of the tyre. |
| Tyres are constantly being further developed. Quality tyres are the result of modern design methods and production processes, as well as continuous quality checks. All tyres that are approved by Audi have been tested by the technical development department and have been designed specifically for each model in collaboration with the tyre manufacturers. |
| For this reason, we recommend only fitting tyres approved by Audi and made by recommended manufacturers. |
| Vehicle safety is the top priority. An ideal safety compromise has to be achieved, taking into account the various conditions in which the tyres are used: |
| l
| Winter and summer driving conditions |
| Every tyre is subjected to a wide range of different driving conditions over its entire service life. It is therefore important that the basic requirements for ensuring optimum tyre performance are met. |
| Proper wheel alignment is very important for ensuring the maximum service life of the tyre. The wheel alignment must always be within the specified tolerance range. |
Note | Tyre damage and related problems can have various causes. It is therefore very important that you can determine whether the problem has been caused by the tyre or by other components. |
| The tyre properties change as a result of normal tyre wear. Rolling noises or rough running can be the result of such wear. These are simply the symptoms of normal wear and tear and do not constitute damage in the sense of the tyre being defective. You can take measures to eliminate the symptoms at least to some degree. However, in some cases it may not be possible to eliminate tyre noise completely. |
