Bridgestone Potenza Tyres

Folks, as a heads up Audi cannot get hold of Bridgestone Potenza tyres and apparently Bridgestone do not know when they will be providing the Audi supplier with another batch.

Had a issue where I got a screw in my tyre and I ended up having to buy from OPENEO and get it delivered to the dealer (i know, why they couldn't is beyond me).

Their solution was that I replace all 4 tyres (3 tyres with 7mm :drink: ).

I really like the tyres and couldn't face having to part with £800+ for a needless new set!

Depending on wear I'd probably replace two and move the other tyre to the spare. Or keep as a spare if you don't have one.
Spare is often old or worn or both.

Yup, that's what I do. It means that I've got about 3 PS2 of various tread thickness kicking around. Probably perished now, though. :(

Or hunt around online for a suitable part-worn tyre?
(Probably from someone with the exact same problem who needed one and bought two.)

I may have two hanging around not sure how much tread on them if interested I have a look?
