Car Forum / Audi Cars / February 2008A6 tires- 1 blown
Last night I hit a pothole and blew a tire on my 03 A6 2.7T. The set of tires is relatively new but the tire store would not put one tire on. They said I had to replace all 4 tires or else it would screw up the all wheel drive, which will lead to a much more costly repair. The difference between a new tire and the existing 3 are 4/32's. I live in an area where we do have snow and rain regularly. Is this true? If so are there any good tires that don't cost $800? Thanks, Ken > Last night I hit a pothole and blew a tire on my 03 A6 2.7T. The set of > tires is relatively new but the tire store would not put one tire on.

They carry Michelins and some others. A nice set of Michelins for my A6 was around $500 total, installed - road hazard, free balancing & rotation for life and free nitrogen top offs all included. > >> [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > nitrogen top offs all included. > In a similar situation I was told that the maximum difference in tread depth between tire is 3/32 for quattro. You are on the edge but would probably be OK. Kuhmo Ecsta SPT are inexpensive tires with a good reputation. > Last night I hit a pothole and blew a tire on my 03 A6 2.7T.

No. However I would recommend getting the same brand/model of tyre for the one you replace. Mark. Mark;59856 Wrote: > >Last night I hit a pothole and blew a tire on my 03 A6 2.7T.
