    Can someone please help. Tyres. I have continental contact sport 235/55 r19 W the car only covered Q5 2019 4.0tdi Quattro covering 9500 miles and really needed 2 new tyres on the front. I’ve tried to put different better longer wearing on and was told they have to be same as the back. All replace all 4. The back are absolutely fine and have not worn at all. So question can you not replace two different on the same axle. I’ve been told you can’t do that from the dealer. And also they need to check the back because they may need to be replaced too if the calculations are out. Could this be that the short life of the front tyres maybe there is something wrong with the Quattro mechanism. ?
    Also. Always had Audi and always been oil service 1st. Inspection 2nd. This has said it needs both on 11000 miles. I’ve never had to do the inspection as it’s 1st service. Is this correct. Thanks in advance.

    The book says that tyres on front and back must be within 2mm of each other, but I don't pay any attention to that. Its because its a permanent 4 wheel drive as opposed to having a haldex box which varies the engagement of the rear wheels.

    I use Goodyear Excellence and get about 40k miles from the tyres. 255 45 20
