That’s right! If you clicked to be on this page, then you might be wondering if you need new tires! After all, the tires are just as important as the engine – they are the foundation for the rest of your Audi and ride performance.
But, we have tips for you to find out if you do need new tires:
1. Check out your tires before heading out
- If your tires have bulges, gouges, or cracks, that’s a sign of low-tire pressure—the tires are most likely deflating.
- Your tires are probably old, too! Ask yourself, “Self, when was the last time you had new tires on your vehicle?”
- If you unfortunately forgot, we got you! Each tire has a so-to-speak date of birth located on the tire. We recommend that you change your tires every six-years.
2. Do this if you didn’t do the first tip
- If you fail to check your tires prior to getting on the road and if you have a newer vehicle, you have a low-tire-pressure light system.
- This is the image you will see on your dash:
3. Use your penny from your cup holders
- The tires should not fall to 1/16th of an inch or below. Using a penny, Lincoln’s head is an easy method of examining your tires’ lives.
- Disregard my six-year tip above if Lincoln’s head is visible, and you should come and visit us to have your tires replaced as soon as possible!
4. Vibrations
- If your car is providing you a less than smooth drive, then chances are your tire is either flat or is having low-tire pressure problems.
5. Terrible vehicle handling
- We know it’s not you. It’s not me. It’s your car! You definitely need new tires if your Audi does the following:
- Hydroplaning
- Tires slipping upon acceleration
- The vehicle is pulling to either side of the road uncontrollably
