Audi quattro & Winter Tyres in Scotland

PERTH AUDI · OWNERSHIP ADVICE

quattro and winter tyres do different jobs

Audi quattro can help deliver power to the road through all four wheels. Your tyres provide the contact with the road that acceleration, steering and braking depend on. Having quattro does not remove the need to choose suitable tyres.

What does Audi quattro do?

quattro is Audi’s all-wheel-drive technology. Different versions are used across the range, including electric quattro systems with motors driving the front and rear axles. The precise system depends on the model and powertrain.

For journeys between Perth, rural Perthshire and routes further north, traction can be an important consideration. However, all-wheel drive does not make an icy road safe or replace the need to adjust your speed and following distance.

Should you choose winter or all-season tyres?

Winter tyres are designed for colder conditions, including snow. Suitable all-season tyres offer an alternative for drivers who want one set throughout the year, although dedicated winter tyres remain better suited to severe winter conditions.

The right choice depends on your journeys. Regular early starts on exposed rural roads present a different pattern from occasional daytime trips around town. Tyre size, load and speed ratings, wet-grip performance and winter markings all need consideration.

Your colder-weather checklist

Have tyre condition, tread and pressures checked against your vehicle’s requirements.
Check lights, wipers and screenwash before darker, wetter journeys.
Allow time to clear windows and mirrors before setting off.
Check the forecast and route conditions before travelling into higher ground.

Questions about quattro and winter tyres

Does every Audi have quattro?

No. Check the specification of the exact vehicle. A model name or trim badge alone should not be used to assume that quattro is fitted.

Does quattro mean I can stop more quickly on ice?

You should not assume that it does. quattro manages drive to the wheels; braking still depends on tyres, the road surface, speed and conditions.

Financial disclosure

Cameron Motors (Perth) Ltd, Douglas Cameron (Perth) Ltd and Ian H Cameron Ltd is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Cameron Motors (Perth) Ltd, Douglas Cameron (Perth) Ltd trading as Perth Audi and Ian H Cameron Ltd trading as Camerons Volvo to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.
Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.
Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required. Guarantees may be required. If we cannot resolve your complaint within 8 weeks, you may refer your dispute to the Financial Ombudsman Service. This service is free to use. Their consumer helpline is available on 0800 023 4567 or 0300 123 9123 or you can visit their website at www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk
