Introduced in 2011, the Audi Q3 is a subcompact luxury crossover that shares some mechanical parts with the VW Tiguan; the Q3 is powered by a choice of 4-cyl engines with a FWD drivetrain and Audi’s Quattro AWD system as an option. For model year 2018, the Q3 was in its second generation, with Premium and Premium Plus trim levels.
When you shop 2018 Audi Q3 tires, you’ll probably do best with premium all season tires that will deliver long wear, year-round traction, great road manners and handling and a quiet, comfortable ride. We’d suggest tires like the Continental CrossContact LX Sport, Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season, Yokohama Geolandar CV G058 (with 65k mile warranty) and Goodyear Assurance All Season (65k mile warranty). For great options in summer and ultra high performance tires, check out the Kumho Ecsta PS31, Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 and Michelin Pilot Sport PS2. Just remember that the softer, stickier rubber compound of summer and UHP tires delivers great traction, but will stiffen and lose grip in colder weather; these tires shouldn’t be used when temps are below about 45 degrees F.
