2016 Audi A3 Sportback e-tron Spare Tire
The Audi A3 Sportback e-tron, a plug-in hybrid model projecting Audi's commitment to blending performance with environmental responsibility, brings into focus the nuanced considerations of spare tire provision - a feature that often sails under the radar until the moment of need. Traditionally, the A3 Sportback e-tron does not come equipped with a conventional spare tire as standard. This decision is rooted in the vehicle's design ethos, prioritizing space-saving measures, overall weight reduction, and the accommodation of the hybrid system's battery pack, all of which contribute to efficiency and performance. Instead, Audi has commonly provided a tire repair kit or a compact tire inflation kit for minor roadside tire emergencies. For drivers who prioritize having a spare tire, options are usually limited to aftermarket solutions or seeking a compact spare tire that is compatible with the wheel size and space constraints of the A3 e-tron. Typically, these compact spares are smaller than the car's regular tires, designed for limited speed and distance, solely to get the vehicle to a service point for tire replacement or repair. For exact sizes and compatibility, it is advised to consult directly with Audi or a professional tire retailer, as specifications can vary based on the year model and wheel options of the A3 Sportback e-tron.
2016 Audi A3 Sportback e-tron comes with 3 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 2016 Audi A3 Sportback e-tron spare tire size.
