Audi RS3 Spare Tire

The Audi RS3, a performance-oriented compact luxury sedan and hatchback from Audi's esteemed RS lineup, does not typically come equipped with a standard spare tire due to its focus on performance and space optimization. Instead, Audi provides an emergency tire repair kit or the option for run-flat tires on some models, catering to the needs of drivers prioritizing immediate mobility after a puncture. For those RS3 owners preferring the traditional approach of carrying a spare tire, especially for long journeys or areas where professional help is not readily accessible, the compatible spare tire size generally aligns with the vehicle's compact dimensions and performance characteristics. It is advisable for these owners to opt for a compact spare tire, also known as a donut spare, which should be dimensionally compatible with the RS3's unique wheel and tire setup. Specifically, a compact spare tire for the RS3 should respect the vehicle's high-performance braking system and AWD layout, often pointing towards a smaller diameter and narrower tire than the car's standard tire, only intended for limited, emergency use to ensure minimal disruption to its handling and drivability. Always refer to the owner's manual or contact an authorized Audi dealer for the exact spare tire specifications and options available for your RS3 model, ensuring compatibility and safety.

Audi RS3 models manufactured from 2017 to 2025 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 25.1" to 25.5", allowing the use of a temporary spare tire with a near same diameter as the OEM tire. Tire diameter and wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Audi RS3 years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Audi RS3 vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 24.3" to 26.3". Some RS3 models may require the use of a traditional full-size tire as a spare. To ensure safe temporary mobility in case of a road emergency, always refer to the vehicle owner's manual for the correct Audi RS3 spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
