Are most of your roads crowned or are they flat?

Default Bring it to an Audi dealer

Spend the $160 and bring it to an Audi dealer, in Milwaukee, if you have to.

Ask for a as-found and as-left printout with specs, and you'll find that your tires will wear very regular. If they don't, something needs to be replaced in your suspension.

I can't believe how well my Pzero Asymetricals have worn, they are down to almost nothing and I'm thinking about keeping them for the MidOhio event.....no uneven wear at all, and not a bit of rolling from the whole weekend! I have always got my car aligned, it's so great that way.

Well, I did end up with a hot tire pressure after my last run of 56 PSI! When I went to let some air out, it basically burned my hand!!!! ;-0
