Consumer Description

TREADS SEPARATED ON BOTH FRONT LEFT AND FRONT RIGHT TIRES ALONG ON INSIDE EDGE OF EACH WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 93 IN NH. ONE THREW CORD, THE OTHER SHOWED SEPARATION UPON EXAMINATION. DEALER [LAKES REGION AUDI, GILFORD NH] CHECKED INFLATION, AT 31.2 AND 31.4LB (RECOMMENDED PRESSURE IS 32LB). MODERATE TREAD WEAR (4/32IN LEFT?) AFTER 30K MI. DEALER ALSO PERFORMED RE-ALIGNMENT AFTER NEW TIRES WERE INSTALLED, BUT FOUND NO SERIOUS PROBLEM (MINOR TOE-IN ADJ).
