 Description of the problemI bought 2008 a4 on late december of 2008. Car came with the pirelli p6 four seasons tires.. Owned the car for 3 months now have 3600miles on the car.. First had 2 tire damages after driving on minor bumpy road at 25mph.. 1 tire got punctured on the sidewall 1 had bubbles on it.. Went back to the dealership ordered the same set of tires and replace them.. After 2 weeks, had another blow out on the same exact spot on the side wall with same damage.. Then again week later.. On nj turnpike at high speed had sudden blow out.. Which was resulted from sidewall puncture.. And again ended up with flat tire and a bubble on the others.. I've noticed the same pattern here first you get bubble easily from normal type of driving going over little bumpy or rough roads.. Then all the sudden that bubble blows out, end up getting the blow out or a puncture.. I contacted pirelli tires several times and they denied on defective tire on this specific model.. They said they had nothing to do with blow outs cause from road hazards.. When the tire it self are defective in a way.. They should really recall this tire or get them off the market before someone really gets hurt or killed... Thank god i avoided an accident but it was real dangerous.. It could be yourself or your family member.. I find pirelli tires highly responsible on this matter. And audi america and nhtsa should deal with them.
