So far Audi couldn't-care-less. Your experience does suggest that my tyre wear must be due to some kind of fault. I was thinking that the centre diff was too stiff when driven which causes my wear, because the alignment adjustments and the instruments and wear pattern appears to suggest correct alignment. Initially, with the first tyre set, it was obvious that the alignment was incorrect but since being adjusted when the new tyres were fitted, wear has been very even but still very rapid.
Just for information I'll repeat that I got 35,000 miles from Range Rover tyres and Toyota Land Cruiser Amazon [100 series] driven over the same roads in the same style. Audi=11,000 miles. I would be satisfied if I got anything over 20,000 miles from them but 11k! Come on!
