Hi Steve Thank you for sharing your feedback and the "data"(for want of a better word) from Goodyear. I think it's terrible the way the ball is pushed to the consumer to do all the chasing and follow-up with independent tyre consultant. Like I said in previous post, as an individual person, they are fobbing people off left-right-centre. There are ways that this can be collectively presented as a consumer group and I'm currently looking into it. I work a lot with the investigation teams from a media and documentary background, and I'm speaking with some friends within the team to investigate a way to move this forward and put the ball back in their court. My tyres have been with them since May and still no feedback on their findings. As Gareth mentioned, I have retained one tyre and sent them the other 3. I was able to take pictures of the ones on the vehicle in it's natural stance where you can clearly see the split forming - Tyre pressure was captured and the console computer showing pressure to account for correct settings. You are 100% correct about Audi and they should be more interested in the failure of their OEM wheels and tyres. They must have similar customer complaints or records of this failure. I'm pushing goodyear for the formal findings and feedback so I have my own report and then progress things from there. I never want to experience a failure like that again and I was so lucky to bring the car to a controlled stop. Good luck with yours mate and I'll be sure to update the page on any progress from my side.
