I would especially like to know brand, model, and sizes of all-season tires that were received by A3 / S3 owners. If you don't see a response here of your tire, please post a reply. I will update OP with the list of tires that have been shipping into the US market.

Thanks

OOOO S3

I have summer performance Continental Contisport, 235/35/19. I have an S3.

If it is AS it is going to be Continental ProContact, 91 H(130 mph speed limit)

Got tires????

Mines are Continental, that's all I can tell you right now.

But must be all-season since they are 18"s and they should also be the same size that AudiUSA website list for the RS-wheel 225/40.

MY A3 prestige has 18" Continentals all season tires. By the way the label in the driver door pillar shows tire pressure of 41 PSI cold which is wrong since in instruction book I believe it shows for my tires 36 front and 33 rear. I think it could lead to a blow out especially in hot climates if the door pillar label is used. What does your label show?

The door pillar label shows the maximum load pressure. Yes carefully check your manual and unless you are putting five people and luggage in the car, you can use the lower recommendation.

But you don't want to go too low as a pothole could take out your tire and cause wheel damage.

Dennis Sorry but check you door pillow: The label clearly shows cold tire pressure at 41 PSI on all four wheels. Obviously a garage attendant when checking the tire pressure will check the door panel for instructions and therefore will make sure the tire pressure in the tire is accordingly. It really could have severe consequences in hot climates (at 100 plus degree Temps) like we have here. Therefore the labeling is wrong since for the tire size on my vehicle it is 36 and 33 PSI cold (instruction book) and not 41 as shown on the label in my car. Since most owners do not read the book lawyers will have a field day in case of an accident resulting due to tire failure.
