New tire or tires!
Over the weekend I had a blowout of one of my tires. The car is a 2005 TT with 12k miles on it. Discount Tire said that because the TT is an all wheel drive that all four tires should be replaced! I declined and just replaced the bad tire but any thoughts? That was a first for me. Thanks to everyone.

it really depends on how worn the tires are...
do you have high-performance tires on the car? if you do, it's possible that the difference in tread depth between the old/new tires is significant enough to warrant replacing all 4.
i don't remember what the acceptable tread depth difference is according to Audi, but 4/32nds sounds right...

have a tire shop measure the tread depth
of the old tires...
if the new/old are within 4/32nds i think you're fine..but maybe call your dealer and ask what the acceptable difference is..
