Audi A8 08 with lots of toys & volvo XC90
hi all i have an audi A8 (sorry) that has done 19k from new, has dunlop tyres 245.40.18.

Noticed a slow puncture so took it along to quick fit who called about an hour later to say you need 4 new tyres!! :mad:

Have to say did not believe them so went round and had a look. Was shocked, the tyres on the inside (both fronts) have delaminated and the core is exposed. Very shocked.

have got event tyres to fit new ones tomorrow am but what caused this? tyre pressures are always checked, not kerbed etc

Worst thing is dealer just serviced it 5 days ago and did not notice anything said tyres were ok with 5 mill all around

cheers

either camber is off or quick fit switched tyres or the dealer charged you for a service from sitting in the kitchen drinking coffee and rubbing while rubbing his hands
 
show dealer the bill and demand your labour back!!
 
Slightly off topic, just broke the 1000 post mark....:D
