Wheels and tires

Four black wheels hold Audi 80 on the chosen course and reliably conduct it to the purpose. It sounds though mystically, but has nothing in common with black magic, and is connected with such usual things as rubber mix, drawing of a profile and a framework of the tire.

What tires are installed?

Specifically on your car it is necessary to establish those sizes of tires which are brought in the certificate on registration. Tires with other designations should not be installed on wheels of your car, differently problems with police are possible. After all in this case permission to operation of your car is invalid. And it can appear expensive pleasure! Tires which can be installed on various Audi 80 versions at the corresponding entry in the registration certificate are listed below:
