problem #2

Jul 202006

Touareg 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
The tires on my 2005 toureg have excessive wear due to the weight of the vehicle and the pirelli tire used. This was fixed on the 2006 touregs however the 2004 and 2005 have the wrong tires spec and the tires could blow out prematurely causing a person to lose control and roll their vehicle. I have contacted VW and pirelli with no success in getting my tires replaced under any type of warranty claim because they are original equipment tires. I only have approx 20,000 miles on these tires. I was also instructed today that I could pay for the entire replacement of all four tires and then I would receive a warranty on them.
