TIRES:SIDEWALL
CAR WAS DELIVERED ON JUNE 4TH 2000. FROM THE TIME I DROVE OFF THE LOT THE VEHICLE SLIGHTLY STEERED TOWARDS THE RIGHT. I WAS TOLD BY DIFFERENT DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS IT WAS EITHER THE TIRE PRESSURE OR THE CROWNING IN THE ROADS. I ASKED OGNER MOTORS IN WOODLAND HILLS TO ROTATE THE TIRES AND PERFORM FURTHER EVALUATION. THEY FOUND ONE OF MY TIRES TO BE DEFECTIVE. APPARENTLY THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE IN QUESTION FAILED. THEY ARE AWAITING A REPLACEMENT TIRE FORM THE MANUFACTURER...I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE OTHER THREE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE CONSIDERING I HAVE HEARD NUMEROUS REPORT VIA AUDIWORLD.COM THAT THESE TIRES ARE EXTREMELY SUCSEPTIBLE TO SIDEWALL (BUBBLES) FAILURE.*AK (TIRESIZE: 225/45/17)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 225/45/17 )

TIRES
THE TIRE DID NOT 'FAIL' BUT RATHER CAUSES A PULL TO THE RIGHT THAT THE DEALER REFUSES TO CORRECT. THEY CLAIM BRIDGESTONE NEEDS TO DO THIS. FOR A $45K CAR I EXPECT TIRES THAT LAST A WHILE AND IF NOT THEN AUDI SHOULD REPLACE THEM. THE LISTED COST IS ESTIMATED REPLACEMENT COST FOR DECENT TIRES.*AK (DOT NUMBER: EJN8 TIRESIZE: 225/45R17)

TIRES
WHILE DETAILING MY CAR, I NOTICED A SMALL CRACK IN THE SIDEWALL OF THE LEFT REAR TIRE. IT BEGINS WHERE THE TREAD MEETS THE SIDEWALL AND EXTENDS 1.5" TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE WHEEL. THE CRACK IS ABOUT 1/4" DEEP. I CAN SUPPLY A PHOTO IF YOU WISH, PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU'D LIKE ONE. THIS TIRE HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE, AND NONE OF THE OTHER TIRES HAD SIMILAR CRACKS. THE TIRES HAVE NOT BEEN ABUSED IN ANY WAY. THANK YOU! *AK( DOT NUMBER: EJH8CFE429 TIRE SIZE: 225/45R17 )

TIRES
WHILE TRAVELLING AT 35-40 MPH, I HIT A SMALL BUMP AND TIRE BLEW, ALSO THESE TIRES WERE SOLD AS AN ALL WEATHER TIRE, I WAS ASSURED BY SEVERAL AUDI SALES PEOPLE THAT THEY WERE AND AT APROXIMATELY 200 MILES I HAD TO PURCHASE SNOW TIRES AS THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS IN EVEN A LIGHT DUSTING OF SNOW. I PURCHASED MICHELIN ALPINES FOR SNOW, BUT, HAVE NOT REPLACED THE BRIDGESTONES FOR NORMAL DRIVING AS COMPETITIVE TIRES WOULD BE AT LEAST $800 DUE TO THE SIZE AND SPEED RATING. *AK( DOT NUMBER: )

TIRES
EACH OF THE TIRES HAVE BUBBLES ALL OCCURING AT DIFFERENT MILAGES. 2 REPLACED AND BOTH BUBBLED AGAIN AFTER ONLY 3000 MILES. LIVE IN THE CHICAGO AREA ROADS ARE NOT THE BEST BUT OTHER CARS DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM. OTHER 2000 AUDI S4'S AND AUDI TT'S ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. WWW.AUDIWORLD.COM IS A GOOD PLACE TO GATHER INFORMATION ON OTHER DEFECTS.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 225/45/17 )
