| Description of the problem | My 2007 audi a3 has severe, unbearable tire noise regardless of mileage on the tires. I replaced my 1st set of pirelli p6 all seasons way before their tread was worn out due to the road noise only to find that the noise would soon return after approx. 7500 miles on the replacement set. I cannot replace tires every 7500-10000 miles. |
