Audi is considered the oldest of the top three competitors: Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW, with a history of 110 years of existence, compared to 107 and 94 respectively. An important year is considered 1988 - the year when Audi AG launched the model using a V8 engine, with a capacity of 3.6 liters (250 bhp), automatic transmission, and Quattro traction system. This was followed in 1994 by the presentation of the A8, the first car with a full aluminum body. All these distinctive features make Audi a premium class car.
Quattro traction system normally transmits the power: 50%-50% to both the front and rear axle. The biggest advantage is that the ratio can be changed in favor of the bridge which needs more grip. For perfect symbiosis between the engine and the road, the Quattro system needs to be paired with trustworthy tires. An excellent match would be Bridgestone, Michelin, or Pirelli.
For the SUV models (Q3, Q5, Q7, Q8) designed to handle the heavy and unstable weather conditions, according to customer experience, the best pairing is with Hankook, Pirelli, and Continental. These tires demonstrate the best performance in special conditions like heavy rain, snow, and off-road. RS models are the most powerful, fastest, and sporty ones from the Audi lineup. Their distinctive feature is their powerful engine which exceeds a couple of times the normal one. For this huge wave of power and torque, the car needs the best, most innovative, and high-performance tires. Highly recommended are the latest models from Dunlop, Continental, and Yokohama.
