Hi,
I've just bought a 2007 A3 2.O TFSI Quattro. I read somewhere that when I come to buy new tyres I need to change all 4 at the same time - something to do with keeping the tyre radius the same at all wheels to prevent damaging the 4-wheel drive system. Does anyone know if that is true?
I'm just wondering what happens if I get a puncture in one tyre that can't be plugged? Would I have to replace the other 3 tyres as well to keep all the tyres the same diameter and to prevent damaging the 4-wheel drive? It seems like this could be one hell of an expensive car to keep on the road.
Thanks
