Quattro System
My right-side rear tire is brand new at 10/32mm tread. The left-rear is at 8/32mm. My car is a 2005.5 Audi S4. Someone told me that on a Quattro system, if the tires on the same axle are not exactly the same tread wear, it can damage and lead to transmission failure. Is this true? And am I in danger of this at 2/32mm difference?
