Multiple Flat Tires Problem (Phx people help too)
Well I have had my S4 for a little over 2 years now and have bought 6 tires now. 5 for the front and one for the rear. After the first week I had it I burned up a conti stock tire. Then shortly after that I got my PSS9's and BBS CH 19 x 8.5 (Front and rear). I got it aligned at the same shop that did my install on the coilovers.
Since then I have about 31.5K miles on it and 5 new dunlops. All the flats have inner sidewall wear. 4 front tires, and a recent back tire. When I drive I don't hear any rubbing and I have also got the alignment checked at an alignment place that does special alignments and both sides were either -.5 or -1.5, I dont remember.
Anyone else have this problem? I talked to one of my friends who knows a decent amount about cars and he said it could be a camber problem or undercarriage problem.
I called Audi in Scottsdale and they want to look at it first before saying anything is wrong. I know alignments through Audi are 250$.
PHX people, anyone know of a better possibly cheaper place?
AW users, anyone have any idea why I keep having this problem? Or what I could do to solve this?
Thanks for any help. Sorry for the long post.

Lowering your car with coilovers can change the camber enough to cause inner tire edge wear.
Rotate your tires front to rear every once in a while and you will be able to get more miles out of them. The best solution is to get adjustable control arms from one of the aftermarket shops like Pure Motorsports or Start Up Racing.
