Changing quattro tyres
Hi, do I have to change all 4 tyres on a a3quattro or can I just do them as and when needed ie both fronts or both rears?
Running conti sport contact 2 at the moment and just gonna get about 11k out of the front and maybe another 2k on the rear. Anyone got a recommendation for a different tyre

Hi Mike,
When changing tires on an All-Wheel Drive or 4 Wheel Drive vehicle you should either change all 4 or have the new tire(s) shaved to match the existing tires. If you only purchase 2 tires then the front axle and rear axle will be rotating at 2 different speeds. This could possibly cause damage to the transmission.
As far as a new tire recommendation there are several nice options. If you would like please feel free to contact me directly at my number listed below and I will be happy to help you with a new selection and answer any questions you may have.
Best Regards,
