According to the vehicle owner's manual for your 2013 Audi Q5 all wheel drive tire chains can be used on the rear wheels only and are only to be used only on certain tire sizes. But the manual does not specify which tire sizes and only says to consult an Audi dealer for those specific sizes.

The manual goes on to say that the chains "must have low-profile links and must not be thicker than 0.53 inch (13 .5 mm), including the lock." This means that you will want to lock at Class S rated chains. Konig chains # TH01594247 are Class S compatible.
