Uneven wear between the inboard and outboard sides of a tire is normally
caused my alignment.  Could be toe or camber.  Very odd that all four are
the same, though...  You don't have lowering springs, by chance, do you?

It's possible that lowering it might have changed the camber at all four
corners- that happens on some other cars, but I don't have any direct Audi
knowledge on that.
