I bought 2008 A4 on late December of 2008. Car came with the pirelli p6 four seasons tires. . Owned the car for 3 months now have 3600miles on the car. . First had 2 tire damages after driving on minor bumpy road at 25mph. . 1 tire got punctured on the sidewall 1 had bubbles on it. . Went back to the dealership ordered the same set of tires and replace them. . After 2 weeks, had another blow out on the same exact spot on the side wall with same damage. . Then again week later. . On NJ turnpike at high speed had sudden blow out. . Which was resulted from sidewall puncture. . And again ended up with flat tire and a bubble on the others. . I've noticed the same pattern here first you get bubble easily from normal type of driving going over little bumpy or rough roads. . Then all the sudden that bubble blows out, end up getting the blow out or a puncture. . I contacted pirelli tires several times and they denied on defective tire on this specific model. . They said they had nothing to do with blow outs cause from road hazards. . When the tire it self are defective in a way. . They should really recall this tire or get them off the market before someone really gets hurt or killed. . . Thank god I avoided an accident but it was real dangerous. . It could be yourself or your family member. . I find pirelli tires highly responsible on this matter. And Audi America and NHTSA should deal with them.
