Audi A7 Sportback  Service and care  Wheels  Tyres and rims
Inspect the tyres regularly for damage (cuts, cracks or blisters, etc.). Remove any foreign bodies embedded in the treads.
If you have to drive over a kerb or similar obstacle, drive very slowly and as near as possible at a right angle to the kerb.
Damaged rims or tyres must be replaced immediately.
Keep grease, oil and fuel off the tyres.
Mark the wheels before taking them off so that they rotate in the same direction when refitted.
When removed, the wheels should be stored flat in a cool, dry and preferably dark place.
Caution!
  • Please note that summer and winter tyres are optimised for the prevailing road conditions at different times of year. We recommend that you use winter tyres during the winter months. At low temperatures, summer tyres lose their elasticity and grip, and braking performance also suffers as a result. Cracks can form in the tread block on summer tyres if they are used at very cold temperatures, and this can cause permanent damage to the tyres. An increase in rolling noise and tyre imbalance may result from this damage.
  • Machined, polished or chrome-plated rims must not be used in winter conditions. The process used to manufacture these types of wheel rim does not provide adequate surface protection against corrosion, and the rims can be permanently damaged by road salt or similar.
