The tyre situation for 16" wheeled A2's is clearly ridiculus. How can Audi just wash their hands of customers, by saying the responsibility lies with the tyre manufacturer ? I've tried Audi Customer Services, and various Audi Dealers, all of them know that there are no factory fit tyres available for the car, and that there is a very spasmodic supply of what seems to be concidered an inferior Dunlop tyre.
My question is, should Audi actually be selling A2's on 16" wheels to the UK public if they know that no replacement tyres are available ? I wonder what trading standards would make of this practice ?
I had no idea that it was possible to get a free space saver option when I purchased my car, and have mentioned this to Audi Customer Service who say its my resposibility for not reading the sales brochure correctly !
I also asked if Audi customer services if they would offer some help in the cost of a spare wheel, but they said that on this occasion they did not see fit to support me.
When one of you, my fellow owners gets stuck with a puncture and is told, there are no tyres available you will probably feel as angry as I do now, I think its time to write some letters to the UK motoring press, what do you think ?
