Re: Tire wear

["Anthony K.B. Chan" <chan@seattleu.edu>]

I think Audi uses very soft compound oem tires. I bought my 92' 100 V6 last
year with 23,500 miles on the clock and the Dunlop SP6 that came with the 
car was pretty worn too. I took the car in for a pre-purchase inspection at 
the dealer and I questioned the mechanics to see if there was anything 
fishy about the mileage since the tires were wornout. He said it's normal 
for all the tires came oem from the factory have soft compound tires and 
didn't last very long.
