2.7T NC

My A6 2.7t came with Brisgestone Potenzas. I have 13000 miles on them with not a lot of hard driving. I live in an area where I don't have much highway driving to do.

What is the "average" life span for tires like these? I am a little suprised to see the tread wear that I have so far but wasn't sure if this was normal. Sorry for the novice question but thanks for your help/advice.

Check alignment and tie rod ends. That fixed mine

Too much positive camber, probably just within spec.

What PSI do you run in the tires front and back?

Usually one or two passengers with some golf clubs in the trunk.

RE040's have a very low treadwear rating of 140.

not to mention that the A6 is somewhat heavy. Is that pic of the front or back tire? When I wore out my first set of tires, the front were worn on the outside and the back in the middle of the tire. I now try to keep it around 38 front and 37 rear and rotate the tires every few thousand miles. The wear has been much more even.

Thanks for the advice. I will try increasing the pressure.

No problem, hope it works out for you.
