The AO (Audi Original) marked tyre combines a high-silica compound with a tread designed for excellent grip in the wet but also for a long lifespan and better fuel efficiency.

Drivers of the new four-door coupe will have the full 17 to 21 inch range of Turanza T005 tyres available to them. On the 19 to 21 inch tyres Bridgestone has added its B-Silent® technology which significantly cuts the amount of road noise and makes the car quieter inside. By integrating an open-cell polyurethane foam element applied to the inner surface of the tyre, this technology reduces the tyre air cavity resonance produced by the air vibration. Christophe de Valroger, VP Original Equipment Bridgestone EMEA, said: “With the Turanza T005, Bridgestone is continuing to demonstrate an innovative approach to tyre technology and driving safety. “As a trusted partner to Audi, we are especially proud to see the Turanza T005 serving as the tyre of choice for the new A7.” Bridgestone is a preferred partner for Audi and in 2016 fitted tyres to around 300,000 Audi vehicles on 11 models including the A3, A8, Q2 and Q7. The specific AO marking on the tyre guarantees a perfect match with the new vehicle and ensures that it has been co-developed and evaluated by Bridgestone and Audi engineers.
