Overview





On your AUDI establish tubeless radial tires and wheels of different sizes.
When you replace a disk or replace the tire air valve sure.
In the initial period of operation of the new tires do not provide sufficient adhesion to the road surface; the first 100 km to be moving at a moderate speed and with great care - in this period, the tire "burnished." Implementation of this recommendation contributes to the life of the tires.
During operation of the tire subjected to high stresses, thereby can appear punctures, cuts, tears and blisters. Regularly remove foreign bodies from the tire tread grooves.
To avoid damage to tires and wheels should be overcome curbs and other such obstacles slowly and, if possible at right angles.
Often the tires and wheels are hidden damage. The emergence of unusual vibrations or pull to one side could indicate tire damage. In this case, you should immediately slow down! Check the tires for damage (cracks, blisters, etc.). If you do not show any external injuries, slowly and carefully follow to the nearest service station for a thorough check the status of the tires.
Avoid tire contact with oils, greases and fuels.
Instead of lost drives dust cap should be immediately put new caps.
Before removing the wheel is necessary to mark, that at installation could keep the same arrangement of the wheels on the car.
The removed wheels and tires should be kept clean and dry as possible in a dark room. Not installed on the wheels tires should be stored upright.
Before removing the wheel, increase the tire pressure to 0.3-0.5 bar.
When installing tire with directional tread pattern (which can be found on the arrow on the sidewall) is necessary to ensure the correct direction of rotation of the tire, so that is achieved the optimum grip, quietness, traction, resistance to aquaplaning.
Tire life depends largely on the air pressure in them.
It is particularly important to maintain the recommended tire pressure when driving at high speed. Regularly check tire pressure at least once a month and before every long trip. Do not forget to measure the pressure in the spare wheel.
The pressure should be checked at cold tires. With increased pressure in the tire can not be heated to release the air from the tire. The tire pressure should be changed according to the vehicle load.
Too low or too high tire pressure will shorten their service and worsens road performance of the car.
Prolonged driving at high speed tires with extremely low pressure hot. This can lead to delamination treadmills tire and even break.
Too low pressure also increases fuel consumption.
Overcoming the sharp turns at high speeds, sharp acceleration and braking also increase tire wear.
The deviation of the wheels from the standard values not only causes increased wear on the tires, but also impairs the handling and reduces traffic safety.
