2004 Audi A4 Tires Problems

“I brought my 2004 Audi A4 to jack daniels motors in march of 2007 to get new tires. They of course suggested pirelli tires and really didn't offer me any other choices. So I spent $826.21 for new pirelli in march, 2007. Well now it's november of 2007 and I brought my Audi back to them and they told me that the tires had to be changed because they lost the threads and were gong bald. When I told them I just put the tires on eight (8) months ago and weren't they warranted, they told me they weren't. Why would Audi put on tires that didn't come with a warranty???? …”

“I have a brand new 2004 Audi a4avantquattro 1.8. On july 1, with 2389 miles on the car, I had a blowout of my right rear tire, which is a goodyear m&s r235/17 low profile high performance tire. I never had a sensation of hitting anything on the road, but had only seconds to get from the fast lane of I-5 in downtown sacramento, ca across 5 lanes of freeway traffic and around a caltrans maintenence crew on the shoulder, to safety.

“After 4,500 miles, the front tire developed a bubble on the passenger side. The tire was then replaced with an identical one. After 1500k miles, that tire developed the same bubble.”

“Dt: the contact stated all four original tires had blow outs between 3/1/04 and 12/1/05. After each blow out, the tires were replaced at the contact's expense. The first blow out occurred when the contact hit a pot hole at approximately 60 MPH. The second blowout occurred immediately after the contact hit a bump in the road at 40 MPH. The third occurred when hitting a pot hole at an undetermined speed. The last blow out happened when hitting a pot hole at 40 MPH. In two of the incidents the wheel was also damaged. Every tire appeared to have sidewall damage. The tires were regularly serviced. …”
