Default Bubble on my tire -- will audi pay for a new one?
2003 A4 3.0 quattro with 5000 miles. Pirelli P6 tires. I actually had to get a whole new set at 2000 miles because the first were "out of round". Now my front right tire has a bubble in it and the car is pulling to that side! These tires suck. Anything I can do?

Tires are not covered by Audi warranty. Only Pirelli's own warranty.

you'll get refered to an authorized dealer for the tire, and they usually prorate the tire value

I made my bubbly tire a spare. No time or energy to fight them

Default I've got a P6 with a frickin' screw in it -- if you want to investigate plugging it/etc. it's yours.
I'm in the Boston, MA area.
