[QUOTE=Accipiter;84323]Disclaimer: I always buy new tires, and I don't skimp on brand/quality.

The most recent instance was one of those massive failures, and I was very happy that Audi includes a full-size spare. (It was a rainy day and the tire blew on the interstate and my girlfriend and I really needed to get home.)
