What brand of tires does the Audi A5 use?

[DelGabrielle]

Audi A5 mostly uses Michelin tires, followed by Continental, Hankook, and Goodyear. The 2020 Audi A5 comes with two tire specifications: 245/40-R18 and 255/35-R19. Different models may have different tire specifications and types. Tires are one of the most crucial components of a vehicle, serving several key functions: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle, bearing the load, and transmitting forces and moments in other directions; 2. Transmitting traction and braking torque to ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, thereby improving the vehicle's power, braking, and passability; working in conjunction with the suspension to cushion impacts during driving and dampen resulting vibrations; 3. Preventing severe vibrations and premature damage to vehicle components, adapting to high-speed performance while reducing driving noise, and ensuring safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency. Tires are consumables and need replacement every tens of thousands of kilometers. You can refer to the tire wear indicators located in the main tread grooves. When the tread wears down to the level of these indicators, it's time to replace the tires. Once tires reach their wear limit, their wet grip area is significantly reduced, severely compromising safety in wet conditions. Therefore, never wait until the tires are completely bald before replacing them.

When I bought my Audi A5, it came with Michelin tires, which felt incredibly stable, especially during high-speed cornering with strong grip and low noise. The original tire brands for the Audi A5 aren't fixed; different model years and configurations may come with various brands, commonly including Pirelli, Continental, Bridgestone, etc. For daily commuting like mine, comfort is a priority, and Michelin's Primacy series is a great fit. If you often drive in sport mode, it might come with Pirelli's P Zero, which focuses more on handling. When replacing tires, consider your driving habits and check the sidewall markings for the model. The variety in brands mainly stems from factory collaboration strategies, so regular maintenance is recommended to ensure safety.

The Audi A5 uses a variety of tire brands, commonly from major brands like Michelin or Pirelli, but it ultimately depends on your car's configuration. For example, the Sport version usually comes with Pirelli tires for a stronger sporty feel, while the standard version might have Michelin tires for comfort and quietness. Tires also vary by region—Continental is more common in Europe. New cars have the tire brand marked on the sidewall; just crouch down to check. If your tires are worn out and need replacement, don’t just focus on the brand—consider the tire specifications and your driving needs. Choose tires with better grip for frequent highway driving, and opt for low-noise tires for city driving.

To check the tire brand of an Audi A5, the simplest way is to look at the sidewall markings—the letters indicate the brand and model. Common brands might include Michelin or Pirelli, but this isn't fixed as it varies with vehicle configuration. High-performance versions often come with more premium tires. Different brands affect driving feel; Michelin tends to be softer, while Pirelli is firmer. When replacing tires, ensure they match the original size for safety. Brand choice depends on personal preference—opt for comfort-focused tires if you prefer a quiet ride.
