Default New Audi Owner/Member - in 60 Miles Flat Tire

I posted this in the new Member Section also.

Hello All

I am proud to say that I purchased an 2012 Audi Q5, and I have done some research for the Q5 on this message board. I took owner ship of my Q5 about 2 hours ago. about 15 min from my house I saw the check tire pressure message pop up on the dash, when I got home I have a screw in the side of the rear passenger tire, smh.

I am happy that I purchased an Audi, not happy I need to get a new tire. Since this is a quattro drive do do I have to get the two rear tires replaced? Also has anyone had tires installed at a tire shop that instead of the Audi dealership?

Regards

You may not have to get a new tire at all. If the screw is in the tread, the tire can be fixed. Steve

No I needed a new tire because it was on the side wall. I got the one tire replaced.
