I had a very quick response from Goodyear today. Nothing wrong with tyres - suspect the Audi set-up. To achieve the level of steering response that Audi push on their sales blurb it needs to be set as it is. Rather than compromise the steering agility and performance Audi has settled on a solution that eats tyres.

Spoke to Audi Customer Services - very helpful - told me about the goodwill gesture - 50% of replacement tyres - once only !!

Spoke to my local dealer - appreciates the dilema and thinks that setting can be adjusted to the limit s and this may improve wear.

Anyone want a Q& with a new set of tyres on? I suspect that residual values will be low on this car once the news filters out into the used markets.

Why didn't I listen to my other self - buy an A6 Avant instead.
