Now I’ve bought a set of facelift staggered setup wheels for my pre facelift with Pirelli R02’s fitted I wonder if I suffer the same fate as the facelift car in regards to tyre wear.
I’ll certainly be keeping an eye on them.
Been following this topic for a while now and have some info to report.
I am always checking my front tyres looking for the signs of the uneven wear as per the posts on here, without actually taking the wheels off, and tbh I could never find any of the issues found on here.
So my FL RS3 has just hit the 10,000 miles, was registered in mid April 2018. Its driven daily by my wife, mainly short journeys in our city, a mixture of residential roads and dual carriageways. But at weekends it’s usually longer journey (300 mile round trip) at higher speeds, motorway, country roads, a mixture of good and poor surfaces etc, it’s never let us down once.
Having checked the tyres again decided it’s time to replace all four (am on the staggered set-up) mainly due to the feeling that the traction was just not good anymore, still a decent amount of tread on all four tyres but with the winter weather, snow, frost, ice now with us it was time to swap them out.
Changeover was done at local Audi main dealer, I specifically needed to see the front tyres off the car to get a good check on the wear patterns, and especially the inner edges.
The fronts were taken off and the wear has been amazing in a good way.
There was NOT a single sign of any wear on the inner edges, absolutely nothing.
Also the tread wear across ALL FOUR tyres was amazing, literally even wear across all four tyres, absolutely no signs for concern.
The car is the same set-up since factory, have never had alignment checked, never really needed to, never had any handling issues either.
My RS has been sitting on the Pirelli P Zero R02 tyres.
Maybe I have just got lucky, why have so many in here been hit with terrible wear, but mine has none? Strange.
