What are the correct tyre pressures for your Audi A1

Keeping your Audi A1's tyres properly pumped will reduce the wear rate, improve safety, and make your driving experience more pleasurable. Let's briefly discuss the first-generation A1, and list the correct tyre pressures for the various available wheel- and tyre combinations.

The Audi A1 was launched locally in early 2011, as Ingolstadt’s answer to the runaway success enjoyed by the Mini. The A1 was initially launched as a “more sensible choice”, in three-door form with quite conservative engine options, including modestly powered diesels. But, as the model evolved, some sportier alternatives were added, as well as the five-door Sportback model. However, the latest generation has been around for a few years now and offers a four-door-only body style, a range of powerful and efficient engines and indeed, an inflated price tag.

The current range

The current Audi A1 line-up consists of seven derivatives with three powertrain options, namely a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo petrol, a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo and a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo petrol motor. But before you get an Instant Offer on your car and start your search for new or used Audi A1 models on AutoTrader, let’s have a look at the current wheel size options and their recommended tyre pressures.

Tyre and wheel sizes

Four tyre and wheel combinations were listed for the final versions of the first-generation A1 Sportback, depending on the trim level, as well as the options that may have been selected when the car was ordered new. The OEM wheel sizes vary between 15-inch, 16-inch and 17-inch. The tyre sizes range from 185/55 R15 to 215/40 R18.

A tyre inflation sticker is located in the door jamb on the driver’s side of the Audi A1, with the correct pressures for all available tyre sizes.
