The 20 " five-double -spoke wheel complements the sporty and aggressive look of

handling and performance.
*Summer performance tires are designed for optimum performance and handling in warm climates. They are not suitable for cold, snowy or icy weather conditions. If you drive underthose circumstances, you should equip your vehicle with all-season or winter tires,
which offer better traction under those conditions. We suggest you use the recommended winteror all-season tires specified for your car or their equivalent. These summer performance tires also have a lower aspect ratio that aids performance and handling; however,
in order to avoid tire, rim or vehicle damage, it is important that the inflation pressure is regularly checked and maintained at recommended levels. Serious wheel and tire damage may occur if the vehicle is operated on rough or damaged road surfaces, or upon
encountering road debris or obstacles. Please also rememberin making your selection that, while these tires deliver responsive handling, they may ride less comfortably and make more noise than other choices. Finally, these tires may wear more quickly than other
choices. For more information on all of these topics , please consult the owner’s manual, your local dealer or call 1-800-FOR-AUDI.
