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.
