Because of sidewall damage, I had to replace one tire. I decided to replace two. My question; Given that I will have two new tires and 2 slightly used tires (est 5000 miles) will the difference in tread depth between the front and rear have adverse effects on the Quattro system?

Just talked to a service writer in an Audi dealership. He said the tolerance is 5/32 between tires. Comments?

I guess I better get off my butt and get a Bently manual.

Just put them on the front, and periodically compare tread depth to the rear, and don't rotate until you find the newer front tires are worn more than the rear.. normal rotation after that point and you should be all set.
