The Audi A8, a flagship model known for blending luxury with performance, typically comes with a compact spare tire designed to save space while providing a temporary solution for flat tires. The size and availability of this spare tire can vary depending on the year and configuration of the car. Typically, Audi has equipped the A8 with a compact, space-saver spare tire, often located under the trunk floor, alongside necessary tools. These space-saver spares are smaller than the car's standard tires and are intended for limited use - specifically designed to get you to a repair shop or your destination without the speed or durability of a full-size replacement. The exact dimensions of the spare tire can differ, but commonly, for recent Audi A8 models, the spare is sized at around 18 inches, contrasting with the larger primary wheels that can range up to 21 inches in diameter. Owners should consult their vehicle's manual or an Audi dealership for specific details pertaining to their model's spare tire, ensuring they are prepared in the event of a flat tire.
