Similar situation at Doncaster Audi. They did check my alignment and all was well - apparently. But advised me that I should go back before 10k miles for a further review - nice man.

However - I had to replace a tyre due to nail damage - and had an alignment check done at the same time - and it was out - significantly. I opted to leave the setting as it was so that I can challenge Audi at the 10k mark. I also took a printout from the tyre dealers latest and greatest alignment rig and gave it to the Audi engineer - who was interested but defended the Audi alignment rig.

But on the upside - the rear tyre I had to replace has done 8500 miles and was only less than half worn - the front ones don't look so good on the edges though.

PS Audi wanted £277 + fitting for one tyre. I got the same tyre for £180 fitted. Don't buy from Audi.
