Default 1 tire blew up - do I really need to replace all 4 tires?

Hey guys,

I have heard that you need to replace all 4 tires on an awd vehicle...

Can I get away with just replacing 1 tire on my 05 TT Quattro.

Thanks for the help.

Yes all four should be replaced, what some of the other places have done is "shaved" down the tire to match what you currently have on there. Not sure if this is an option for you.

Audi

As published in their vehicle owner's manual, "rolling radius of all 4 tires must remain the same" or within 4/32-inch of each other in remaining tread depth.
