| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I am reporting a safety problem, not an accident or a parts failure. the car came equipped with high performance tires. they are bridgestone potenza steel belted radials no 225/45 r17. on any snow the car becomes unstable. it will not climb even the slightest grade. stopping is problematical; it slides every which way. i called audi of north america and was told the correction is to buy snow tires. i was given a number of a dunlop tire to fit my rims. it is called a winter sport and costs $750.00 for four tires. it is inconceivable to me that a car is sold in the midwest with the only method of controlling winter driving is to buy an additional set of tires. i could understand someone wanting better traction in the winter doing so, but not just to be able to drive the car on slippery roads. *ak |
