2000 Audi A6 tires complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Tires are cupping, resulting in heavy wear, noise and vibration. Cause is improper alignment or suspension wear. Dealer and manufacturer have not responded to request for correction. (tiresize: p20555r16)( dot number: tire size: p20555r16 )
Dealer has attempted to balance these tires on three separate occasions within past 4 months without success.( dot number: tire size: p205/55/16 )
I have had this car for only slightly more than 6 months, and have had no collisions or other unusual impacts to tires. After only 800 miles of service, my right front tire developed a bulging knot in the sidewall. Dealer inspected the tire and could find no indication of "impact" injury so tire was replaced under warranty, as vehicle was only 2 weeks old. Now I have discovered 3 more of the tires (lf, rf & rr) have developed similar bulging knots in the sidewall, one of which is the tire that was replaced by the dealer at 800 miles. I drive only on paved city streets, and have never experienced tire failures of this type on any other vehicle that I have owned, so I do not believe that this condition is due to driving conditions.*ak( dot number: dmce22d tire size: 255/40zr17 )
