    Kerbed Wheel and Tyre

    Hi, Apologies if this is in the wrong section etc but not sure where else to ask. Earlier today I accidentally kerbed my rear offside wheel but whilst doing that it also pinched the tyre and a small section has peeled off. If I take it to a tyre place they’ll tell me to replace it because they...

    Continental AllSeasonContact tyres?

    I currently have Avon ZV7s on my Quattro Avant. I am considering going with the Contis next time. The Avons are very good but the idea of all weather tyres apeals to me.

    AUDI A4 AVANT 2019 (B9) spare tyre question

    Hi all, I’m new to the forum. I would appreciate your help. I’ve just bought an A4 Avant 40TFSI. It’s a 2019 model, bought used from the local Audi dealer.
