If you check with Audi they can tell you what specific tread depth variation you can get away with. If it's too much of a variation (which it sounds like it is) you can check with the shop that sold you the tires and maybe they can shave the new tire to match. Just a thought.

Like I posted earlier, you need to check with Audi to see how much variation you can get away with. Give the service department a call and they shold have the specs for that specific model. They will likely need the tread depth on all four tires in 32s of an inch so they can tell you where you are at.
