Audi extends Conti OE fitment

Continental says it “recently received a whole raft of approvals” from Audi. The ContiSportContact 5 summer tyre has been approved for both the Audi A3 and A8, while in future the A6, A6 Allroad, A7 and RS 6 Quattro will be equipped with the sportier ContiSportContact 5 P. In all, five tyre sizes for 19 to 21-inch rims have been homologated. The Continental tyres fitted as original equipment on most of the above Audi models will bear the letters ‘AO’ (Audi Original parts) on the sidewall, and in future these tyres will also be available to order from Audi dealerships and specialist tyre dealers. Tyres for the Audi RS will bear the sidewall marking ‘R01’.
