Just checked back in after a couple of weeks. For those later to the party please see my reply on page 8.
After some careful questioning with Goodyear you will see that they know the cause, its the geometry setup which is rather unusual for this type of larger heavier 4*4 and more often found on far lighter sports cars. So unless Audi decide to change the set-up, give a little on handling and or find other areas to improve the handling to compensate its will continue to eat front tyre edges for breakfast, lunch and dinner!!!
We just need to get them to admit it, something that would be very expensive and unlikely to do. Most probably it will get quietly fixed in a manufactuers update along with other issues found. Whether that fix can be done retrospectively wont be known until we know how they fix it.
So write to car magazines and newspapers instead of here and shame Audi. Its the only way we have a chance they will do something if they fear future sales will be effected by bad press. Unfortunately this little forum doesn't have the muscles to make them sweat. Need to go more mainstream. Remember the pen is mightier than the sword, but only when its being read by lots of future customers, not existing ones!!!!!!
