Default HELP - Tires for my 2001 Audi S4

I am having horrible luck with tires for my 2001 Audi S4. I bought brand new tires from Sam's in July and I have had problem after problem with them. They seem to go flat and won't hold air, you can hear the air coming out the sidewall. This has happened 3 times now since July. It's making me crazy! What tire brand would you all suggest for an Audi S4 with standard 17' rims? I am taking my car to Big O Tires after work.....there are just so many to chose from.....Help......

And what does Load Range mean to me????

Thanks!

Hello,

Have you had the wheels inspected? To me it sounds like the tires are not mounting correctly and you are not getting a good seal on the bead. This could be because a wheel is damaged or bent. You should take the S4 to a tire shop that can do a "Run Out" on the wheel. They should be able to tell you if it is the wheel or the tire that is the problem. I truly do not believe it is a tire issue, especially with as many tires as you have went through.

Thanks,
