problem #1

Mar 172011

A6 8-cyl

  • 10 miles
New Michelin tires mounted by tirerack on bbs rims. Within 10 miles, front passenger tire went flat, and upon inspection the valve ("valve #1") was found to be defective. Received new tire and new valve ("valve #2") from tirerack, which was mounted by my car dealer. After sitting for one hour, front passenger tire went flat. Upon inspection, the second new valve, valve #2, was found to be defective. That's two defective valves out of five, which does not seem to be an acceptable failure rate.
