Better Grip for an Audi Q5: Continental UX7 and Four-Wheel Alignment
This Audi Q5 came in for more grip, so the solution was a fresh set of 255/45R20 Continental UltraContact UX7 tyres plus a four-wheel alignment.
Grip is not only a performance-car topic. For an SUV, grip affects wet braking, cornering confidence, emergency lane changes and how settled the car feels on uneven roads. When tyres are old, unevenly worn or mismatched, the vehicle can feel vague even if the suspension is healthy.
Where Better Grip Comes From
| Factor | Result |
|---|---|
| Fresh tread | More consistent water evacuation and braking feel |
| Correct size | Keeps the tyre matched to the Audi Q5 wheel and chassis |
| Quality SUV pattern | Supports road grip, comfort and stability |
| Wheel balancing | Reduces vibration and improves highway feel |
| Four-wheel alignment | Helps the tyres contact the road evenly |
Why Continental UX7 Was Chosen
The Continental UltraContact UX7 is designed as a premium SUV road tyre. For Adelaide Q5 drivers, that means a practical balance of wet-road confidence, comfort and stable steering response.

Alignment Completes the Job
New tyres can only do their job properly when the vehicle geometry is right. Four-wheel alignment helps the Q5 track cleanly and helps avoid premature shoulder wear, especially on 20-inch tyres.
