vibration
I have a 2001 Audi A6 - 4.2L with a vibration I noticed that my rear tires
wear very strange. There is a flat spot every 8 inches or so, all around
the tire on both rear tires. I am told I need a rear alignment, which is
fine, but don't understand how that is going to correct my problem. Why is
it wearing in the exact same spots. Any ideas??

Your shocks may be worn. I'd have them checked first before doing an
alignment. After you replace the shocks, you'll most likely need to do an
alignment anyway.
Also check if your rims aren't bent. And finally, get new tires.
