Nail in Tire, how does this happen?

Isn't an Audi A4 just a pricey VW Jetta anyway?

Oooooh, burn!

I have an 09 A4 and I love it, although I am gonna go look at my tires tomorrow. PS no baby today so still on baby watch, Merry Christmas all!

Well it was not the dealership that told me this it was what is taught at MMI and other ASE accredited schools. Granted if the tires only have 2500 miles on them it may be insignificant but if it has over 10000 miles on them it is enough to cause a rotational difference and drag on the differentials. On another note. on my Audi A4 Quattro I had it stated in the manual that if you get a flat and you had to get a new tire, you had to replace all for or it would void your power train warranty.

Your spare tire is for temporary use. only to get the vehicle off the road to a service station...not for driving around town for three weeks and on the highway as most people do. They have a speed limitation and the length of time you are expected to use it (states the mileage limit right on the tire) would not do any damage to your car.

No need to change all 4 tires on an Audi Quattro due to a puncture/flat. Just checked my manual for my 2013 S5.

BTW... Like I said when Cory was on here. I have been a Ford guy all my life. Owned 19 Fords in my time including my 2011 Explorer. EX went in for some recalls/TSB's and the headliner was damaged by expanding foam in the process. Ford refused to do anything about it as did ( Joel Confer Ford of Bellefonte PA) the dealer. I have since traded it on the new Audi S5 and will NEVER buy or recommend another Ford or Joel Confer Ford to anyone. I am also influencing the company I work for to switch brands for our fleet of 47 vehicles. Ford saved $1200 but lost much, much more for a problem they caused in the first place!

Sorry I know this is not an Audi discussion. I apologize for the tread-jack.

Please don't try and repair that tire. Your safety depends on it.

Has anyone seen this before, guy at dealer said he had never seen a nail through sidewall like this, is somebody with a nail gun ticked off at me? (This is my first time posting a pic sorry if it comes out big)

Wow, Gatormike. I don't know how it happened, but I'm glad you got it taken care of. BTW, this picture prompted quite the discussion about tire repair on the Social Media team.

So why are you still lurking around on this forum???? You no longer have any value to add to any of the discussions.......
