Default Man, I hope someone gets reamed for this.

The 225/45R17 RE040s were obviously not sturdy enough tires for cars of the performance caliber and weight of the S4 or TT. Audi needs to quit equipping cars with 040s, period. Their sidewalls are clearly inadequately reinforced.

I guess I'm glad my S4 came with P6000s, despite their low performance capabilities.

Default Clearly. That's why EVERY S4 and TT has destroyed its stock 040s. NOT.

I'm not saying there's not an issue, but many of us with 040s never had any problems with them (I've since moved onto Pirelli P7000 SuperSport all-weathers myself...)
