Description of the problem	Hi, i bought an audi a3 2018 on november 2017 from audi of rochester hills, michigan. Since then i have had issues with the original pirelli tires in the car. Two incidents happened within a span of 1 year where the tire was damaged on the side wall and and it was irreplaceable so i had to get a new tire within few months of buying the car. On dec 15, 2018 i lost tire pressure while driving in shelby township, michigan and when i took the car to the dealer i was told that there was sidewall damage. On may 31, 2018 i went over a pothole at the intersection of hurontario & eglinton in mississauga ontario, where one of the tire got punctured (complaint filed with city of mississauga, transport canada and picture attached). I took it to a mechanic shop and they said that i'll have to replace the tire as they couldn't fix the tire because the side wall was damaged. Once i got back to michigan i got a new tire at the dealership and i asked both the dealership and pirelli about the quality of the tires but was told this is what the supplier (pirelli) suggested for the a3. I was told at the dealership that this is an issue with the low profile tires on the audi cars. If the dealership is aware of the issues then this should be communicated back to the oem as well as the supplier. This is part of the quality and safety standards that dealership should be providing to the customers. Within a year i had to pay for tires because the quality is not good enough to handle potholes? The issue happened in low speed for me so i was able to steer the vehicle to safety. If this had happened on a highway, it could have been a dangerous situation. Thank you for your consideration.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
