2008 Audi A3 Spare Tire
The Audi A3, a compact executive car that has been a staple in Audi's lineup since its debut in 1996, typically offers a spare tire option, though the availability and size have varied throughout its generations and trims. Initially, Audi A3 models were more likely to come equipped with a full-size spare tire, matching the car's regular wheels and tires. However, in more recent years, as is common with many modern vehicles, Audi has shifted towards supplying a compact, temporary spare tire ("donut") or even tire repair kits in lieu of a spare tire. This change reflects broader automotive industry trends aimed at reducing vehicle weight and increasing fuel efficiency. For those A3 models that do come with a spare, the size generally is smaller than the car's standard tires and is intended for limited, emergency use to get the driver to a tire repair shop or dealership. Specifically, the compact spare tire for the Audi A3 is often designed to fit in a dedicated space in the trunk's floor, ensuring that while it conserves space, it remains accessible in the event of a flat tire. Owners looking to verify the size and availability of their Audi A3's spare tire should consult their vehicle's manual or contact a certified Audi dealership for precise information based on the year, model, and configuration of their vehicle.
2008 Audi A3 comes with 2 OEM tire size options. Select the original equipment the tire size installed on your vehicle to see all spare tires that have roughly the same tire diameter and can be used as a temporary replacement in the event of a flat tire. Remember that load carrying capacity of the spare tire must be the same or higher than the load carrying capacity of the original equipment tires in order to safely support the weight of your vehicle. Refer to vehicle owner's manual or contact Audi dealership to confirm the correct 2008 Audi A3 spare tire size.
