Audi Tyres in Park Royal
Listed tyre sizes for 11 Audi models and generations, each linked to its size page, fitted at our NW10 workshop with live prices online.
The right tyre size for an Audi depends on the model, the generation and the wheels fitted. An A3 Sportback from 2020, for example, is listed on sizes from 205/55 R16 to 235/35 R19, and the Q4 e-tron uses different sizes front and rear. The size printed on your tyre sidewall is the one to match. Find your model below, then book at our Park Royal garage in NW10. Every tyre we fit includes balancing, a new valve and disposal of the old tyre, and the price depends on the brand and size.

AO, AOE and RO1: Audi markings on the sidewall
Tyres made specifically for Audi carry an AO (Audi Original) mark on the sidewall. Goodyear's marking table also lists AOE as Audi Original Extended, which is a run-flat tyre, and RO1 as an Audi quattro marking.
Look for these letters on your current tyres before you book and tell us what you find. If your car has AOE run-flats, say so, because a run-flat and a standard tyre of the same size are different products.
quattro: keep all four tyres the same
Audi handbooks, as quoted by owners, say a quattro car must have tyres of the same type, make and tread pattern on all four wheels to avoid damage to the driveline. The same passage says tyres with different amounts of wear do not harm the four-wheel-drive system.
In practice, if you need one or two tyres on a quattro, match the brand and pattern already on the car. If that tyre is no longer available, you may need to replace more than the damaged one. Bring the details from your sidewall when you book.
Q4 e-tron: different sizes front and rear
On every listed wheel size, the Q4 e-tron runs a wider tyre on the rear than on the front: 235/55 R19 front with 255/50 R19 rear, 235/50 R20 with 255/45 R20, or 235/45 R21 with 255/40 R21. Because the sizes differ, the tyres cannot be swapped between axles and are bought per axle. Give us both the front and rear sizes when you book.
Wheel alignment on an Audi
Wide, low-profile sizes like 245/35 R19 on the A4, 255/35 R21 on the A6 or 255/40 R21 on the Q5 cost more to replace, so it pays to check the wheels are pointing the right way before new tyres go on. If one edge of a tyre is wearing faster than the rest, or the steering pulls or sits off-centre, have the alignment checked before or when you fit new tyres. Otherwise the new ones will wear the same way. We use Hunter equipment for four-wheel alignment, from £50.

Frequently asked questions
What size tyres does an Audi A3 take?
The A3 8V (2012 to 2020) and the A3 8Y (2020 onwards) are both listed on 205/55 R16, 205/50 R17, 225/45 R17, 225/40 R18 and 235/35 R19. The 19-inch size is listed only for some engines. Fitment data lists no 16-inch size for the 45 TFSI e plug-in hybrid. Check the size printed on your tyre sidewall.
What does AO mean on an Audi tyre?
AO stands for Audi Original and marks a tyre made specifically for Audi. Goodyear's marking table also lists AOE as Audi Original Extended, a run-flat tyre, and RO1 as an Audi quattro marking.
Do I have to replace all four tyres on a quattro?
Not necessarily. Audi handbooks, as quoted by owners, say all four tyres on a quattro must be the same type, make and tread pattern, but that different amounts of wear do not harm the four-wheel-drive system. Match the brand and pattern already on the car when replacing one or two tyres.
Why are the front and rear tyres different on my Q4 e-tron?
Every listed Q4 e-tron wheel option uses a wider tyre on the rear than on the front, for example 235/55 R19 front with 255/50 R19 rear. The tyres cannot be swapped between axles, so give us both sizes when you book.
What size tyres does an Audi Q5 take?
The Q5 from 2017 to 2024, including the 2020 facelift, is listed on 235/65 R17, 235/60 R18, 235/55 R19, 255/45 R20 and 255/40 R21. The SQ5 is not covered here. Read the size from your tyre sidewall to be sure.
How much does it cost to fit a new tyre to an Audi?
It depends on the size and brand, so there is no single price for every Audi. Every tyre we fit includes balancing, a new valve and disposal of the old tyre. Book online to see live prices for your size.
