Well my Pirelli tyres have gone to tyre heaven.
I’ve a 19 plate rs3 sport edition with staggered set up, the car is 11 month old with 10k miles on the clock.
When I bought it and joined this forum I clocked a lot of posts about the inside wear on the Pirelli tyres so thought I would keep an eye on mine, anyway I sort of put it to the back of my mind, the car had its firs service 4 weeks ago at Audi and they sent a vid of the inspection.... all good as they informed my that one rear tyre was on just under 4ml of tread on fronts on 5, and that’s all they pointed out to me.
Cut a long story short.. kerbed a alloy and had it fixed yesterday, went to pick it up and the lad said your tyre is shot on the inside, said it’s splitting open.
Anyway I had 4 new mich. PS4’s put on today on a 235 square set up.
Took some pics of the tyres... so if anyone can help...
1 when it was serviced and the inspection done at a Audi dealer rate, even if the metel wasn’t coming through the tyre there would of been a huge sign of wear on the inside ( around 600 mile from service to me being told it was shot). Why did Audi not see this, I mean I have a vid of the mechanic with the car on the ramps showing me the tread depth. Is it a case of I’m paying over the odds for a inspection that they haven’t done or is it a case of they know the issues with these tyres, the cars less than a year old so if it’s brought to light and I kick off it’s gonna cost someone a set of new tyres.... would you go in to the dealers and ask why this wasn’t noticed?
2 anyone with the same issues that have swapped to mich PS4’s, have you had any more inside tyre wear on a different brand?
Dunno if it’s car setup or Pirelli tyre prob
TIA for any feedback
