"My son’s A4 Avant has worn the right rear tire completely bald in less than 3 months!
No online searches have yielded results so coming here to ask for help determining the cause..."
Since then I went to son's place and discovered that the problem is much different than when I posted. Would delete this thread and start over if I could.
BOTH rear tires are worn bald while the fronts still have most of their tread. All the same tire make, model & age - these are his Spring/Summer wheels & tires... installed them in April. The tires should have had another 20K miles or more.
In 3 months time (approx 10-13K miles) the rear tires are bald, with the right rear worn to the steel ply on the inside. It's obvious that the rear is very out of alignment, but, am worried that front diff may be slipping or not engaged at all.
Could the problem simply be need for aligmnment?
Have reinstalled Winter tire set & will get to a dirt road to test if all 4 wheels are pulling...
Tires are Bridgestone "Turanza Quiet Track" with exception of the left front being a Bridgestone "Serenty" = modern replacement for the Turanza.
As you can see from the photos my boy never checks his tires - just drives
