Default Dealer will not cover it. Audi only covered bubbles for RE040s on 2000 S4s, and even then it was a
PITA to get the dealers to do the work.

This is common on the P6000's Take it up w/ Pirelli.

Default It was a range of VIN numbers that the policy was applicable to. (m)
My 2001 was included. I had a bubble on a RE040 and had no trouble with Audi concerning getting it replaced. The tires had to be the original ones the car was delivered with, and I think you had to be the original owner of the vehicle.
