History
History of the Audi TT
The TT is a compact sports coupe with striking design, launched in 1998 (coupe) and then 1999 (roadster), inspired by a concept praised for its clean lines. Built on a shared Volkswagen Group platform, it has gone through several generations and positioned itself as an accessible, stylish sports car rather than a pure track machine, while offering higher-performance versions (TTS, TT RS). Offered in front-wheel drive or with quattro all-wheel drive, it targets driving enthusiasts looking for a vehicle with a strong character. In Quebec, a quattro variant with good winter tires extends its use into the cold season. The wheels are generally 17 to 19 inches with a 5x112 mm bolt pattern; because of its sporty profile, a dedicated winter set is strongly recommended.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
La plupart des Audi modernes utilisent un entraxe de boulons 5x112 mm, ce qui facilite le choix de jantes compatibles dans la gamme. Les diamètres de jantes courants vont d'environ 17 à 19 pouces sur les berlines et VUS, jusqu'à 20 ou 21 pouces sur les versions sportives et certains gros modèles. Au Québec, où les pneus d'hiver sont obligatoires, beaucoup de propriétaires montent un ensemble hivernal sur des jantes de plus petit diamètre (par exemple 17 ou 18 po) pour profiter d'un flanc plus haut, plus confortable et mieux adapté à la neige. Il faut toujours vérifier la dimension exacte, le déport (offset) et l'indice de charge selon le modèle et l'année. La quattro tire pleinement parti de bons pneus d'hiver.
