Tyre size depends on your S3 model year and wheel setup, and some trims have multiple approved sizes. Use the registration search for the safest match, or enter the tyre size from the sidewall (for example, 225/40 R18) and confirm the correct load index and speed rating.
Yes. The Audi S3 typically requires higher speed ratings and suitable load capacity to match its performance and kerb weight. When you search, select tyres that meet or exceed the ratings already fitted, and avoid fitting lower-rated tyres even if the size is the same.
It’s best not to. For quattro models, keeping tyres matched on each axle (and ideally all four) helps maintain consistent grip and reduces the risk of uneven wear or handling issues. If you must replace one tyre, check remaining tread depth and consider replacing the pair on the same axle.
Only choose runflats if your S3 is equipped for them and you want that setup, as ride comfort and handling can differ. Many S3s use standard tyres with a repair kit or space saver. If you’re unsure, check what’s currently fitted, your handbook, or search by registration and compare suitable options.
After you find the correct tyres via registration or tyre size, add them to your basket and select a local fitting garage. Choose a time that suits you, confirm checkout, then the tyres are sent to the garage for fitting, with booking details provided so you know exactly what to expect.
