They should be stripped of their Audi dealership and forced to sell used
Yugos!

Seriously, getting the right wheel tire combination is not easy (even EC 
admitted that a +1 upgrade hurt the performance of one their test cars)
and then you get dealers who slap el-cheapo brand tires in the wrong
size on and claim "stock".  Reduced performance is not good for the 
image.
