Audi doesn't replace the tires, go to a Firestone dealer.

Yes, they do. There was a TSB released about it and people have been getting tires replaced.

Default had two take damage, had to replace all four, audi reimbursed me for two damaged

if I had proof of the damage they probably would have done all four but the invoice from the tire place didn't say why they were replaced. More than likely you can get reimbursed for the damaged tires, I would take them to your dealer and have them worry about it for you. That way you at least have some witnesses/proof that the tire was bubbled. Realistically they can't argue much about it even though I was told that "we don't normally do this but out of good faith we'll reimburse you for two tires". Which basically means we know the tires are **** and we'll replace the damaged ones because we don't want to get taken to court over a few tires.
