Tire awareness 101
Audi is offering free replacement tires for TT and S4 buyers, even if the tire damage is due to potholes. An Audi spokeswoman says Audi took the unusual step after receiving complaints from several owners about tire sidewall bulges and blisters causing loss of tire pressure.
Dealers will replace affected tires, which are size 225/45R-17/91Y that came as original equipment on '98 and '99 S4s and '00 and '01 TTs. No accidents have occurred as a result of the tire problem.
Making the Cruiser cut
Due to the popularity of the PT Cruiser, Chrysler has taken the unprecedented step of notifying dealers of their Cruiser allocations through the end of the 2001 model year in August, so dealers can notify customers.
Some dealers are rolling customers' orders over to the 2002 model year, holding their spot in line; others are making buyers who didn't make the cut for an '01 start the buying process anew for an '02. About 230,000 PTs are in the pipeline for '02, up from 146,000 built in the first year of production.
