Staggered Setup Explained
The Audi R8 uses a staggered tyre setup, meaning:
-
Wider tyres on the rear for traction
-
Narrower tyres on the front for steering precision
Typical configuration:
-
Front: 245 width
-
Rear: 305 width
This setup is critical for handling balance and should not be rotated front-to-rear.
