Rear puncture

[x3la]

Audi A3 Quattro. I have a rear left puncture. I think it's slow and haven't identified the location. All 4 tyres were replaced 10 months ago and have only 5,000 miles of wear. They're Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 Plus.

Can I just replace the one tyre given how little wear they have? I haven't owned an AWD before..

If it's just a puncture I would take it to a tyre place and get it fixed , They can plug it if it is a puncture and you won't need new tyres .

As above. It could be a puncture, faulty valve or corrosion on the alloy wheel, all repairable and far cheaper than a new tyre.

fix, don't replace as you'll be wasting your money

If its not repairable you should be ok to just get two new ones for the same axle, as front and rear always wear differently anyway.

Alternative is a part worn same brand from a reputable seller, just make sure it’s not damaged! Not ideal though.

Fingers crossed it’s something simple like the valve.
