i had an alignment done at 10k as the first year’s free service. I didn’t ask what’s been done. Now, my car has 12+k. The tires are still good. I have adaptive chassis. I always check the tire pressure every 3 or 4 weeks.

For the tire wear, the tire has to play a factor in this right? If it's an alignment or suspension issue, they should all wear tires out quicker but do we know if CD's as well as members on here are running the same tires? Summer vs AS vs owner-installed winters?

Totally agree. Tire brand matters. Over the years, it always seems that the tires we get here in CA (all weather) when the car is new are not as good as some well rated tires you can buy from the local tire stores. We purchased several american cars over the years that always came with Good Years... they would last MAYBE 20k miles. Then I would replace them with a good set of Michelins, get the wheels alinged again (normally minimal change) and i would get 50-60k out of them.
The new 2018 Q7 came with Good Years... wondering how they will perform. but since Michelin doesn't make the tires in my car's size (yet), I will be shopping for better mileage tires IF the Good years under-perform.

Mine has done that a few times. Dealer just reset the MMI system this week, so we'll see what happens.

Does that MMI Reset simply do a reboot, or does it restore all the factory settings, and forget all other settings such as bluetooth links, etc, etc?

When the dealer did it, it kept all my settings and pairings.

I can only speak to my current S5 and Q7 (MKII on order).

I have the Carista App, and several changes I made in my S5 and Q7 required me to reboot the MMI for the changes to take. I have done it several times in each, and never lost any settings.

Does not reset to factory settings, just like a PC reboot.
