Would you happen to know the original tire load and speed index rating on a 1998 Audi A4 2.8 Quattro? I need this informaiton because new tires need to match or exceed the recommended car manufactuer's tire rating to uphold the tire manufactuer's warranty.

Thanks!

 

Z-rated I believe because the car is electronically limited to 130mph which is what z rated goes to. Someone else should chime in to confirm that though cause im not 100 percent.

 

A 98 A4 likely would have had H-rated tires. V-rated at the most and probably then only with the sport package. Speed rating for a V tire is 148mph. A Z-rated tire is listed as 149+ mph.

 

Guess I had it wrong, thanks for the correct answer devil.

 

Yeah I had a sport package A4 with Dunlops and they were H-rated.

 

******************CONCLUSION***************

I talked to a parts guy at the dealership and he believes that the tire load and speed index is 91H. So, the original tire for a 1998 Audi A4 2.8 Quattor is a tire with a speed index of H and load index of 91.

 

This article has the specifications for a '98 though it doesn't have the load index: 1998 Audi A4
