Heres a strange one
So, i had a blow out on my front left tyre wall (don't ask) so i got two new front Audi recommended conti's (RO1) 285/30 R21 Y (100) from Black Circles, had them fitted and also had the tracking checked (all ok). A week or so later having driven no more than 200 miles the car went into Audi for a warranty repair.
Fast forward just over two weeks and i got the car back and the tyre report shows the fronts down from 6.3 and 6.6mm. Is this normal? If the tread starts at 8mm?, then this seems a daft amount of wear for what can be no more than 2-300 miles..
Am i going mad?

Re: Heres a strange one
No chance, they are 7.5mm new. Get out and measure them yourself if they are under 7mm there’s something fishy going on!
Re: Heres a strange one
Probably an error on the tyre report.

Don't worry about it.
My tread depths actually went up in 6 months between health checks at Audi.
According to their reports anyway...

Re: Heres a strange one
this can't be as bad as when i used Barons in kentish town for a service on my m5
I had put a brand new set of MSPs on my car 2 weeks earlier and at service time i got an advisory for worn tyres
Needles to say I kicked off and haven't been back
