Default tire rotation on TTS with 19" wheels, Conti 3's worth it?

I heard tire rotation is not included with Audi Care.

Reports are that the Contact 3 wear down quickly. Does the more even haldex front/rear wheel distribution on the TTS vs. my '01 haldex TT effect the rotate or not rotate decision?

Default I would always rotate -- even with haldex fronts will still wear faster...

since it's FWD biased and there is more weight on the front tires.

Didn't matter on my FWD... Never rotated, but the Conti's were just as toast on the rear as front.

Default Correct, they will rotate on first service only.

Then, its up to you.

Options include:

A: Pay $5 a wheel, at a private Tire shop.

B: Do it yourself with a jack and torque wrench.
