Tires and CPO question
It seems that Audi increases the speed limiter on models that come with summer tires from the factory. So, can a dealer sell such a car as CPO with all-seasons if the car originally came with summer tires? Or there is no restriction set forth by Audi?

The tires that are used should be rated per the manual - it has nothing to do with summer vs winter or all seasons. If one uses lower rated tires then it is up to you to limit your speed not audi or the dealer

Let me make my question more specific. Audi is probably trying to protect themselves against a litigation by making sure they lower the speed limit when they equip cars with all season tires (most all seasons are H or V rated.) So if a dealer picks up Audi inventory with low tire speed rating because the previous owner put new tires, and VIN indicates car is capable of a higher speed limit, is the dealer obligated to replace the tires to match the car before selling as CPO? Thanks.
