Get Arnold Clark to swap tyres for Continental SP5 tyres as these tyres are the correct tyres tohave on Audi A7

Dunlop Goodyear have known about this problem for over 2 years now & I found out when I had to change 2 sets of tyres over 6 month period Goodyear Dunlop are Not interested in people’s safety with these tyres these tyres when Made were made from the wrong Compound rubber Trading standards Birmingham Are Aware Of the problem But again Goodyear Dunlop have Done Nothing Not Any form of Recall with these tyres the correct tyres to have on a Audi A7 Are Continental SP5 this tyre was designed for the Audi by Continental tyre company

Thanks for the information I’ve done some investigating myself & found out that Dunlop Goodyear when making 19 & 21 inch tyres used the Wrong Compound tyre Rubber mix that’s what’s wrong with these tyres nothing to do with size But here’s the Best bit after Bbc watchdog found out about this problem The Manufacture Did Absolutely Nothing No Recall on said tyres Why was this I wondered probably didn’t Want to Refund the Customer. So Stay We’ll clear of these Dunlop GT Maxxx tyres there Not Cheep & Don’t last . I got Geometry Of wheels checked & the tracking & balancing all came back with perfect reports So it’s the tyre Not the wheel Size

Certainly Will Gareth So Far Trading Standards in Plymouth have been Exemplary on there findings & keeping me in the loop.

Here’s a update I have a Audi A7 Black Edition bought the car 16 months ago when I bought the car it had brand new Tyres fitted they were Dunlop Gt Maxxx tyres & they simply didn’t last thought I might have had a bad batch so bought another set of the same tyres & again the outer tyre walls went again I Done Some Investigations & Found Out that Dunlop / Goodyear knew about this problem back in 2017 But did Nothing about it .I contacted Audi Uk who told me the tyres that were put on the car when Built in the factory were Continental SP5 & I also found out that Dunlop had been mixing the Wrong Compound Rubber when making tyres for either the 19inch Rim & 21 inch Rim But again No Recall from the Manufacture they have tried to sweep this under the Carpet & they only offered me 25% of the tyre when it was sent back to Germany for Testing . So I have Contacted Trading Standards & they are Now taking it up With Dunlop Goodyear. In the 16months that I have had the car I have gone through 8 tyres & the Second set Didn’t even give me 4000 miles . My advice if anybody else has had problems with Dunlop Gt Max tyres in either 19 or 21 inch rim Please Contact Trading Standards as they are now taking up the fight with the manufacture. On the plus signs I have had great Repours with both the Tyre Retailer who sold me the tyres & also the Wholesaler who have Given me Big Discount on my Continental SP5 Tyres the Tyre Retailer & Wholesaler Helped me But the Manufacture Did Very Little . When I have final outcome from Trading Standards will Post the update here Shame on You Dunlop Goodyear Very Poor Customer Services The Tyre Doctor Your Not

I have contacted bbc watchdog & also trading standards today as Goodyear Dunlop offered just 25% from dealer allowance & that to me is a insult 25% on one tyre Rubbish & Simply Not Good enough from the manufacturers

Driving style just social & domestic as I have retired from work use the A38 in Devon from time to time to go to Plymouth or Exeter audi Plymouth checked wheel alignment & yes tyre pressure all correct according to Audi tyre pressure gage inside door .I have had other Audi A7 owners contact me to say Dunlop have a major problem with the sports max tyre & I have printed off all comments & sent it to Dunlop Goodyear as they have known about this problem for a while from what other drivers have told me .Tyres have been sent back to Dunlop Goodyear for tests in Germany & a letter from Mitchell Deever with Complaint letter attached Will let you know how I get on when I receive a reply I’m going back to what I know Michelin tyres

I’m having issues with my tyres on my Audi A7 Black Edition 21 inch had brand new tyres when I bought the car last year & have already had to shell out for two sets of tyres on the car the car had Dunlop super sport tyres on the car has anybody else had problems with. Dunlop tyres on there A7 Can anybody tell me what tyres were originals put on car as I’ve been to Audi main dealer & they are telling me either Continental tyres or on newer A7 they are fitted with Bridgestone tyres would like help & your opinion pleas e
