avantissimo Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Can anyone say why the Q7 ships with all weather Pirelli Scorpion tyres in the US straight from the factory, but in the UK they ship with Goodyear Eagle that have no grip whatsoever in the winter? Anyone know if you can order all weather tyres for the Q7 as a factory option in the same way you can for the all road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 It will be a legal requirement in certain states that winter or all season tyres must be fitted in the winter months, so Audi supply the cars with all season tyres, it's not a requirement in the UK, or even necessary in most of the country.

Tipex is right its like in Germany and most other European you have to have matching tyres on each axle and have to have a spare set of winter tyres by law. But its also about the contracts they with have with certain manufactureres who make OE tyres for the vehicle For example the US factory will have a contract with Pireli and the UK with Goodyear for OE's.

garcon magnifique Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Can anyone say why the Q7 ships with all weather Pirelli Scorpion tyres in the US straight from the factory, but in the UK they ship with Goodyear Eagle that have no grip whatsoever in the winter? Because you don't get proper winters in Warwick. At least not compared with the northern half of the US. Anyone know if you can order all weather tyres for the Q7 as a factory option in the same way you can for the all road? I can't help thinking that fitting all weather tyres to a Q7 would be a bit like installing a handling kit on a cross channel ferry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
