| I leased a new vw passat in 2006. the tires wore out in 21,000 even though they were properly inflated and basically driven on interstate highways. i have never had tires that lasted less than 35k. *tr | |||

| I am a phd computer scientist and my vw's computer control module spontaneously changed its setting. a vw dealer technician documented the change, and reset the parameter to factory settings. i replaced all 4 tires on my car at costco. when i started my car, the low tire pressure warning light lit. i reported this to the costco employee who had done the work. he checked the factory settings by the driver's door, and made sure all tires were set to that pressure, 35 lbs. the warning light went on every time i drove. i scheduled a regular service appointment with a vw dealer. the technical found that the control unit's setting had changed to 100101 from 100100. he reset the parameter, and the start-up warning stopped. *tr | |||
