| During the first 18 months, i have experienced 4 flat tires on my audi a6 2.7t s line. one on the rear passenger side and 3 on the front driver's side. i have driven for over 25 years and have only experienced about 3 flat tires in that entire period before the purchase of this vehicle. the flat tires were replaced with three different brands. regardless of the tire manufacturer, there continues to be flats. this is a very serious problem and the public should be made aware of this problem. *jb | |||

| Our new audi a6 had the p6 p235/r17 installed as original equipment. within the first 4,000 miles, all under normal driving conditions, a large bulge developed on the sidewall of one of the rear tires. this created a very dangerous driving condition. when we had reported this issue to our dealer, they very rudely disclaimed responsibility and had given us the number for the tire manufacturer. when we had reported this to pirelli consumer affairs division, they quickly ascertained (without inspection) that this was caused by a road hazard, and would not be covered under warranty. at this stage we are looking toward our legal options, since both audi and pirelli are not interested in coming up with a solution short of us buying brand new tires. | |||
