What brand are the original tires on the Audi Q5?
2 Answers
Audi Q5's original tires for the base model are from the Goodyear brand; the high-end sports version uses Bridgestone tires; the high-end off-road version is equipped with Dunlop tires; there are also a few batches of vehicles that come with Michelin tires. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery, typically installed on metal rims, supporting the vehicle body and cushioning external impacts. The Audi Q5 is a mid-size SUV under the Audi brand, with dimensions of 4629mm in length, 1898mm in width, and 1655mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2807mm. The vehicle's lane assist system helps maintain the driving path; Audi's side assist system can warn drivers of dangerous lane changes; the adaptive cruise control system maintains speed and distance from the vehicle ahead.
As an Audi Q5 owner, I noticed right after picking up the car that the original tires were Michelin Pilot series, which are quite quiet and offer good wet grip. However, after chatting with fellow car enthusiasts, I learned that some older Q5 models came with Pirelli or Continental tires. For example, certain 2018 versions were originally equipped with Pirelli Scorpion tires. These brands are selected by Audi at the factory based on the configuration, aiming to balance comfort and safety. Now that I’ve driven more, I’ve found that the original tires generally last around 50,000 kilometers. If you drive a lot on rough roads, they wear out faster and need replacement sooner. In short, the brand isn’t fixed—it depends on your car’s specific production year and configuration. During regular maintenance, checking tire pressure is crucial, as leaks can accelerate wear. I recommend new owners check the manual or consult their dealer to make it easier to replace tires with similar performance later on.
