Default Any on ha e flat tire issues?

I have a 2017 A4 with the low profile tires, which I hate! I am very careful and try to avoid pot holes, but still have had to replace 3 tires that went flat or got bubbles in less than 2 years. I am so paranoid about getting another flat that it has taken all of the joy out of driving my car. Anyone else have this issue?

Tires are tires, but maybe someone on the A4 forum has this problem?

Sorry - but I've only had good luck.

1st set lasted 55,000 miles & the 2nd set have been fine.

We can provide more information if you provide the tire brand and model as well as the tire size

How often do you check your tire pressure? Tire pressure is critical for low profile tires. I have the standard 235/40R18 tires; only blowout I've had was while driving, on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere, faster than I really should have been for those road conditions. Rest of the time slowing down when road conditions are not ideal is the best way to maintain tire longevity.
