    All-season tires

    On dry pavement, with temperatures just below freezing, the stopping distance for vehicles equipped with all-season tires is 30% longer than for vehicles with winter tires.

    Winter tires also have better traction on a snowy surface at temperatures of -40°C than all-season tires have at +4°C. Even on dry pavement, the overall performance of an all-season tire declines as the temperature becomes colder.

Wheel alignment.

Proper wheel alignment will help your tires achieve maximum performance while ensuring they last longer on your Audi. With a wheel alignment, a vehicle’s suspension is adjusted so the tires are synced together with the vehicle to ensure they have proper traction with the road. Our Audi dealers have the expertise and equipment to perform your Audi’s wheel adjustment to manufacturer’s specifications.
