These were fitted new by an Audi main dealer when I purchased the car second-hand. During my 12 month ownership I have always adjusted my tire pressures according to the weight in the vehicle hoping to increase tire life. After only 8 months of ownership I noticed they had started to wear on the outer edges on all four of my tires & also cracking in between the tread around the circumference of the tires, the middle of each tire had approx 5/6mm of tread left. When the car went into Audi for warranty work I mentioned the tires & the reply was "it is normal wear because it's a big, heavy vehicle". Now, 2 months after it went into Audi my tires are really bad on the outer edges ( the near side front & back seem to be the worst) but the rest of the tire still has at least 5mm of really good tread. I fitted the same type of tire to the front of my wife's Golf GTI nearly 20k ago & they've been brilliant but I'm sorry to say that this isn't the case on my Q7 & at £260+ each tire I'll be searching around for something a bit more long lasting, really disappointed.
