When Should Tires Be Replaced?
The two key indicators that your Audi A6 needs new tires are time and mileage. With most drivers covering 10,000 to 15,000 miles per year, you’ll likely reach your tires’ mileage limit before their age becomes a concern.
However, once your Audi’s tires pass the five-year mark, replacement should be considered regardless of mileage. The sophisticated compound of rubber, kevlar, and specialized chemicals that protect your Integra’s tires against UV exposure, temperature fluctuations, and road hazards naturally degrades over time, reducing their effectiveness and potentially compromising your sport compact’s performance and handling characteristics.

Audi A6 Tire FAQ
Which tire sizes fit my Audi A6, and how do I pick the right Lionhart set?
Audi equips the A6 with 17- to 21-inch wheels, so common fitments include 225/55R17, 225/55R18, 245/45R19, 255/40R20 and 255/35R21 across various trims and options. Simply read the size stamped on your current sidewall or consult the door-jamb placard, then visit Lionhart’s catalog.
Are Lionhart tires fully compatible with Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system?
Absolutely. Every Lionhart pattern offered for the A6 is engineered for uniform rolling radius and proper load indexing, ensuring seamless interaction with Quattro’s torque-vectoring electronics. Our asymmetric tread blocks and high-silica compound maximize lateral grip, keeping power balanced during spirited acceleration and wet-road maneuvers. Choose Lionhart for the confident traction Audi engineers intended, plus competitive pricing and a 40,000-mile limited warranty that delivers long, worry-free mileage.
How often should I replace my Audi A6 tires with new Lionhart rubber?
Inspect tread depth every 5,000 miles and plan to replace once it reaches 4/32 inch, even if wear bars aren’t flush yet. For most A6 drivers that means 40,000–45,000 miles, or roughly every three to four years. Aggressive driving, misalignment, and extreme heat can shorten lifespan, so keep pressures correct and rotate regularly. When the time comes, installing fresh Lionhart tires instantly restores factory-grade comfort, braking performance and fuel efficiency.
What makes Lionhart a better choice than OEM or other aftermarket brands for the A6?
Lionhart blends premium construction with attainable pricing. W-speed-rated steel-belted radials, reinforced sidewalls and computer-tuned tread geometry deliver the crisp steering response A6 owners expect. Our proprietary LH-Silica compound lowers rolling resistance without sacrificing wet grip, yielding quieter rides and measurable fuel savings. Because we sell direct, you skip dealer markups yet still receive full road-hazard protection. In short, Lionhart offers luxury-grade performance without the luxury-grade bill.
Can Lionhart all-season tires replace dedicated winter sets on my Audi A6?
Yes. Our LH-Five and LH-503 ultra-high-performance all-seasons carry the M+S stamp and feature multidirectional siping, high-silica rubber and wide channels that maintain traction when temperatures fall or light snow appears. While nothing beats a studless winter tire on glare ice, many A6 owners find Lionhart all-seasons provide year-round convenience, eliminating seasonal change-overs and storage fees. In severe climates, pair Lionhart winter tires with alloy wheels to protect your original rims.
