What Are Some Tire Basics I Should Know?
Having the right tires in their best condition is key to driving an Audi A4 or Q5, and whether you drive a lot or you limit your commutes to short distances, tires make all the difference. How to spot tire issues and knowing when to replace them is something every Audi owner should know, and we're here to help educate you.
- How do I know what size tires I need? There are markings on the side wall of your tire that have an important part in the selection of new tires. They tell you what type of tire it is, what type of vehicle it is for, and its width.
- How do I know if I need new tires? If there is any uneven tire wear, cracking or bulging, anything poking from the tire, or if the tread is pulling away from the body of the tire, you need to replace them. Tires that fail the penny test are also ready to be replaced.
- What is the penny test? This simple test is performed by sticking a penny into the tread, head first, and if your tread doesn't touch Lincoln's head, you need to have them replaced.
- Why does my car shudder when I travel over a certain speed? There's a good chance there's a balance problem, and issues such as these should never be ignored.
- How often do tires need to be rotated? A good rule of thumb is to have tires rotated at every oil change, ensuring there is even wear, thus getting more life from them.
