Audi S8 Tyre Reviews

Choosing tyres for a Audi S8 comes down to matching the right size, load rating and tread pattern to how you actually use the vehicle. Below you will find owner reviews and ratings from Australian drivers, along with guidance on what to look for in this segment.

What to look for in Audi S8 tyres

Luxury cars are tuned around a specific tyre, and many carry an original-equipment marking on the sidewall — a star for BMW, MO for Mercedes-Benz, AO or RO for Audi, J for Jaguar — indicating a construction developed for that vehicle. The marked and unmarked versions of the same tyre model can behave quite differently in ride and noise.

Cabin quietness is one of the main things buyers pay for in this segment, and tyre noise is the largest single contributor once the car is moving. Tyres with acoustic foam liners make a genuine difference. Many of these vehicles were also fitted with run-flats from new; if yours was, check whether the car has a spare and a jack before switching to conventional tyres.

Audi S8 tyre sizes and fitment

Tyre sizes for the S8 vary by model year, variant and wheel option, so the vehicle placard is the specification that matters. It sets out the size, the minimum load index and speed rating, and the correct pressures. You can fit a higher load index or speed rating than the placard calls for, but going below either changes the safety margin the vehicle was engineered with.

Audi S8 tyre reviews from Australian owners

Every review on this page is written by someone who has actually run the tyre on their own vehicle, which is why they cover things a specification sheet cannot: how the tyre wore over 40,000 km, whether it tramlined, how loud it got as it aged, how it behaved on wet country roads at night. Filter by tyre brand or size to narrow the list, and if you have run a set on your Audi S8, adding your own review helps the next owner in the same position.
