Tires · reported Aug 31, 2026

I was driving down the highway, roughly 60mph, when my yellow tire pressure warning light came on. The car did not feel any different while driving. I drove for another 5-10 mins when suddenly my car jerked to the left. I let off the gas and slowed to a safe spot to park. That was when I started to smell burning rubber, after I parked I got out and that was when I noticed I was riding on the rim with no tire. Tire is 255/45/R19

However, Audi of America issued a formal denial on October 9, 2025 without performing any inspection of the vehicle or the driverâs seat.…
