Winter tires for your Audi

Snow, sleet, freeze-thaw ice and steep hills. Winter tires give your Audi shorter stops and steadier steering from November through March. Our service team handles the whole swap.

Built for Pittsburgh winters

Pittsburgh averages 44 inches of snow a season and more than 100 nights at or below freezing. Add steep hills, river valleys and freeze-thaw ice, and your tires work hard from November through March.

Audi wheel in snow beside a chart: winter tires stop in 156 feet on snow from 40 mph versus 184 feet for all-season tires, and 35 feet on ice from 12 mph versus 54 feet

Shorter stops on snow and ice

In independent tests, winter tires stopped 28 feet shorter on snow from 40 mph. On ice they stopped 34% shorter. quattro® all-wheel drive helps you get moving. Your tires do the stopping and steering.

Snow braking: Edmunds test, 2014, Honda Civic with Michelin winter and all-season tires, 40 mph to stop. Ice braking: Tire Rack test, Honda Civic with Bridgestone winter and all-season tires, 12 mph to stop. Results vary by vehicle, tire, speed and road conditions.

Tread made for the cold

Winter tires have deeper grooves, hundreds of sipes for extra biting edges and a rubber compound that stays soft in the cold. Look for the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol on the sidewall.

Switch at 45°F

Every month from November through March averages below 45°F in Pittsburgh. Swap to winter tires in early November. Switch back in April, once highs stay above 50°F. Winter tires wear quickly in warm weather.
