Can I replace just two tyres on a four-wheel drive Audi?
I’ve picked up nails in two of my Audi Q7 tyres and need to replace them. Should I replace all four tyres?

Given the size, power and value of the vehicle, I would suggest replacing all four.
Replacing a pair of tyres on each axle doesn't always result in mechanical problems, but it can increase the wear of the differentials (as the worn tyres have a lower circumference and will rotate faster than the new pair). Replacing the differentials on an Audi Q7 is a very expensive job.

I have just found out that my car has the wrong size tyres to the rear wheels on my car. The tyres should be 255/45 R20 101vt. But have 235/50 R20 100 v tyres fitted the same as the front. Is this a problem?...
