Monica: your salesperson should have given you<br>a small leaflet that explains the tire manufacturer's warranty - the only part of your A4 that isn't covered by Audi. The good news is that you don't need any leaflet or receipt to<br>go to a Dunlop dealer and have a defective tire examined and replaced. The bad news is that there<br>is no road hazard warranty included with any tire<br>these days, so a tire damaged by driver-induced <br>trauma isn't anybody else's responsibility.<br>Unfortunately, it sounds as if you were inconvenienced by some mis-information from your<br>dealer.

Hmmm, according to the Dunlop people I spoke to, they are one of the few who provide road hazard warranty. I will have to look into that, but to answer your earlier question, my tire is the original that came with the car.

Are you saying that Road Hazard Warranty covers a tire damaged by a nail? Sorry, I was a little confused when I read your reply. Anyway, I was told that Dunlop does provide Road Hazard warranty on the tire. I will have to look into that further.

...and as suggested below, people tend to purchase these (or at least become aware of them for the first time) AFTER they've replaced a tire and don't want to have to lay out money for a new tire again. <br>BTDT many times.
