A5 Quattro! 1 tire flat.Do I replace all 4 with only 13K miles
Hi... I would really appreciate some help. I have 1 tire with a "bubble".
These Pirellis have only 13K on them.
The model is discontinued.
I have Tire Rack and the Audi dealer telling me to replace all 4.
I have two different local mechanics (1 is certified Audi tech) telling me to replace only 1.
Not sure what to do.

Sunny, you need to determine how much tread is left on the 3 good tires.
There is 1/8" (AKA 4/32") variance permitted - - side to side and front axle vs. rear axle.
I've purchased used tires on eBay with success when I only needed 1 odd ball tire.
