Audi V8 Quattro Spare Tire

The Audi V8 Quattro, a pioneering luxury sedan from the late 80s and early 90s, has specific requirements when it comes to its spare tire due to its distinct design and performance needs. Typically, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) spare tire for the Audi V8 Quattro falls into the compact temporary spare tire category, also known as a “donut” spare. The common size for this vehicle's spare tire is often smaller than its standard tires, designed to save space and weight in the trunk for optimal performance and efficiency. This size can vary but is generally around 135/80R17, although it's always best to consult the vehicle's manual or an original parts supplier for precise specifications. Over the years, finding a compatible spare tire for the V8 Quattro has become more of a challenge, as the specific size and type may not be readily available at all tire dealers. It is recommended for owners to seek out specialty tire shops or online retailers that cater to vintage or European car parts, as they are more likely to stock the correct size or offer suitable alternatives. Additionally, Audi enthusiasts' forums and auto parts recycling centers can be valuable resources for locating these spares, ensuring that owners can find the right fit to maintain the vehicle's safety and integrity, even in the event of a tire emergency.

Audi V8 Quattro models manufactured from 1990 to 1994 have tires with overall diameter of 25.2", 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 V8 Quattro years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Audi V8 Quattro vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 24.4" to 26".
