Consumer Description

THE OEM GOODYEAR EAGLE RUN FLAT TECHNOLOGY (RFT) TIRES THAT WERE ORIGINALLY INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE ARE STARTING TO "CHUNK" ON THE OUTER EDGES OF THE TIRE. THE TREAD IS STILL AT 8/32 AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 9,700 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE ON 2018 AUDI Q7'S WITH THIS TIRE, SO MUCH SO THAT THERE IS A TSB OUT FOR THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, AUDI AND THE DEALERSHIP HAVE DECLINED TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TIRES EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE CLEARLY WEARING DIFFERENTLY THAN THE BACK ONES. THEIR EXPLANATION IS THAT THIS IS "NORMAL WEAR", BUT NO OTHER CAR I HAVE DRIVEN HAS HAD THIS TYPE OF TIRE WEAR.
