Winter tyre grip from Audi winter tyres

Winter tyres make sure that you have winter tyre grip and that it's temperatures that slip, not standards when driving conditions turn. The lower the temperatures, the greater the demands placed on your Audi. And when it comes to driving performance, slippery roads are no place for experimenting.

• Winter tyres ensure that your car is ideally equipped for the winter months. Produced by premium manufacturers, the purpose-built tyres are constructed from a special rubber compound that is optimised for temperatures of below 7 degrees centigrade. 

• Their special ‘footprint’ enables them to scythe through snow with a degree of precision, grip and control that has to be felt to be fully appreciated.

• Whereas conventional tyres become stiffer and less flexible at low temperatures, the winter compounds remain softer and more pliable and, consequently, are better able to maintain grip.

• They also benefit from a special tread pattern that optimises water displacement, and additional grooves, called sipes, within the tread blocks which interlock with the surface to maximise traction.

• When the quattro all-wheel-drive system is factored into the equation, Audi drivers can feel even safer in the knowledge that they have the best possible chance of weathering increasingly challenging winter driving conditions.
