2007 ford freestyle. Consumerstates a vibration/ noise coming from the front end of the vehicle *tgwthe consumer took the vehicle to the dealer to have the vibration/noise inspected. However, the dealer stated there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. The consumer returned to the dealer because the front end noise had worsened. The dealer informed the consumer that all fourpirelli p6 tires were cupped with flat spots. The damage was on the inside edge only of all four tires. The consumer also stated the tires were regularly balanced and rotated. Upon research, the consumer learned the pirelli p6 tires ford installed at the factory had been problematic when used on the 2005/2007 ford freestyles. The report described the exact same problem and showed a typical wear pattern that he experienced with his vehicle. After 2 1/2 years, the dealer confirmed the noise was indeed coming from the tires. The consumer stated the question still remains at which caused the problem; the tires or the suspension.

2007 focus 3 door ses purchased new in 11-06. Began noticing minor steering wheel vibrations after 6 months and dealer had rotated tires at 8k miles. At 14 months and 17k miles the steering wheel vibration became unacceptable.dealer did a front alignment after telling me the wheels were way out of spec. The pirelli p6 original tires are now severely worn in misalignment patterns and must be replaced. Very disappointed. If you own a focus and have any unusual feel in the steering and handling, get it checked asap.

Purchased 4 pirellie tires (pr00523457v) - pir p6 four seasons p235/45r17 on 2/18/05 with lifetime road hazard warranty. Replaced 2 tres04/08/05 - impact buldge on outer edge of tires. Replaced another tire (tire was ripped/cut completely around the tire while traveling out of state, with two small children) on 11/27/05. Again on 08/19/06 had to have another tire replaced rip completely around the tire.on 12-05-07 another rip in tire was told that tires were worn, needed to be replaced (all 4).

I changed the original tyres of the car after 3 years of normal wear out and replaced them in october 2015 with pirelli cinturauto p6 tyres. I drive an average of 10,000 miles per year, the air pressure in the tyres is the correct one as specified by the car, and i drive on country roads but very carefully. In december 2016 the right front tyre showed a bulge on its sidewall so i replaced it immediately with another cinturauto p6. In january 2017 the left front tyre showed a similar bulge on its sidewall so i replaced it immediately with another cinturauto p6. In may 2017 this left front tyre which had been replaced in january 2017 showed once again a similar bulge on its sidewall so, once again, i replaced it with another cinturauto p6. And now, in november 2017 the back right tyre has exploded, i was not aware if there had been a bulge in the sidewall of this right back tyre as i would have replaced it immediately if i had seen one.pirelli blames my driving and does not offer me any warranty.i blame pirelli because i don't think a tyre should be so delicate and because i never had any problems with the original tyres of the car with a similar type of driving.as the tyres have been failing one at a time i have had to keep replacing the defective tyres for the same model but this last explosion has scared me and i am going to replace all four tyres with others that are not so delicate.

(1) howl, hum chopping noise. Balance and alignment within spec per audi dealership.(2) extremely noisy. Uneven wear across each tire. Uneven wear tire to tire. Poor wear at 10,000 mi(3) sears is the pirelli dealer in this area and is the party responsible for tire adjustments. They (ryan) state the tires are wearing poorly and unevenly. They can't get pirelli to pre-authorize the replacements. If they replace the tires because they think they're defective, and pirelli believes the tires are not defective, sears won't be reimbursed for the replacements. It's reported that pirelli is very resistant to reimbursement for tire adjustments. This leaves the sears in the awkward position of being unable to properly service pirelli tires. I've contacted pirelli customer relations and they are unwilling to extend any consideration of my claim.

Clunking sound on some roads coming from tires on a 2008 ford taurus x automobile. Complained to dealer and they replaced two pirelli p225/60r18 p6 tires made in brazil.dealer said the tires were cupping. After about three weeks the sound is appearing again - possibly on the other two tires. Have you received any complaints from other people.

I own a2004 audi a4 3.0 quattro with pirelli p6 4seasons p235/34r17 tires.i took the car to the firestone tire store to get the tires balanced because they were vibrating.the firestone store employee showed me the tires later on because he believed these were unsafe to drive.a total of three of the tires showed some type of defect: one of the tires (front left) has a big bubble in the center of the tire, the other two tires (both are rear) are coming apart in the inside wall (i can provide a pictures of the tires--the defected tire with the bubble can not be noticed unless the tire is placed on the balanced machine).both rear tires are actually coming apart in the same pattern.i started researching on the nhtsa website and it appears that these tires were collected among other eleven tires (twelve total models) acollection site in phoenix, arizona on or about 2004 to conduct a study.the website i found this article is: http://dig.abclocal.go.com/kgo/pdf/tire_aging_nhtsa.pdf (see appendix a, and appendix e).i would like to know how i can get pirelli to replace these tires at no cost since these tires appear to have a at least 5 to 10,000 miles remaining of life.i would like to thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter which would indeed save lives.

New audi a4, 10 days old 800 km. Driving about 40mph on two lane highway, hit minor bump. The front passenger tire collapsed, smoked and there was complete separation of tread and sidewall.

On 4/9/09 i was driving to work and i noticed slight vibration coming from the left rear pirelli p6 tire on my 2008 ford focus.i checked the tire and did not notice any visible sign of damage.on the way home the vibration got more severe.on arriving home i checked the tire and found one spot that was completely bald.from when i checked the tire at work to when i arrived at home i had driven a total of less than 90 miles for the tire to go completely bald in that spot.both pirelli and2 ford dealers claim there were no problems with the tire, that the damage was due to a improper use of the emergency brake, improper alignment of the rear end of the vehicle, the tire not being balanced or failure to rotate the tires.i had the tires replaced by a local mechanic.

The contact owns a 2008 audi a4.the vehicle has pirelli p6 tires.the contact purchased the vehicle in june of 2008 with the original tires.on september 13, 2008, he started the vehicle and the tire pressure warning light illuminated on the instrument panel.he pulled into a gas station and checked the tires.the front driver's side tire was low.the contact placed air in the tire and then heard a slow hissing sound coming from the inner sidewall of the tire.he also stated that when he applied pressure to the top portion of the tire, the inner wall came apart.the manufacturer advised him to go to discount tires so that the failure could be diagnosed.the mechanic performed a diagnostic on the tires, but could not determine the cause of the failures.the tire size was unknown.the current mileage was 4,100 and failure mileage was 3,950.

I was taking a one day business trip that was about 250 miles away. The day i left the tpms said that my front passenger tire was low, so i checked and it came in about 10 psi lower than all the other tires. I got down there and settled in for the night. The next morning it was under 10 psi. I filled it up again and left for home. About half way through the trip i stopped for some lunch. I got back to the car, and the tpms lit up again. This time it was half what all the other tires were. Upon my return home, i took the car to my mechanic and he said that there was a hole on the inside sidewall. The tires only have about 33,500 miles on them.

The contact owns a 2008 ford focus. The vehicle has pirelli p6 tires, size p205/50/r16. While driving 55 mph, the contact noticed that the driver and passenger side seats began vibrating. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was informed that both rear tires were cuffing and needed to be replaced. The tires were not replaced. The failure mileage was 18000 and the current mileage was 20000.

As an owner of a 2004 audi a4 w/ pirelli p6 four season 17" tires have been very disappointed not with the performance of the vehicle but the tires. All of the failures have been under normal driving conditions and the vehicle has only 18,300 miles on 3/16/06. The tires in all failures have developed bubbles on the side walls and/or have blown out while driving. Luckily no injuries to anybody has occurred during each incident and the tires each time had to be replaced at $145.00 a tire. I filed a complaint w/ better business bureau (bbb) to receive some type of compensation and pirelli did indeed mail a check for a disclosed amount. I wish more complaints to the bbb would be filed also to document this on going problem with pirelli tire and this actual tire.

My wife took our 2008 ford focus in for a routine oil change and tire rotation. The dealer stated they could not rotate the tires because the rear tires were bad. The "cords" in the rear tires had broken inside the tire and now they are out of round. They said they are not under warranty because the dealer did not have record of rotating the wheels (because i had done it at home for free). I have been on many internet tire web sites and the pirelli tires are known for this happening on smaller vehicles.

Second complaint for tires, since dot number different on second tire. Lost pressure, and out of round. Sidewall is dry-rotted at not quite 40,000 on a 60,000 mile warranty. Pireli p6 four season, p205 60/r16. Will try to get satisafaction on warranty.

While driving 30 mph, the consumer hit a pot hole.suddenly, the vehicle vibrated uncontrollably.the consumer pulled over, and noticed that the front passenger tire was flat.the mechanic replaced the tire.a few months later, the problem recurred with front driver's side tire.this problem also occurred with the consumers parents' vehicle which was equipped with the same tires. *sc

Premature tire wear the tires (pirelli p6 p225/60 r18) on my 2005 ford freestyle limited needed replacement at 18,000 miles. The inside edge of the front tires are wearing out prematurely. The tires were rotated every 5,000 miles. The dealer performed a 4 wheel alignment at 10,000 miles. When they were replaced at 18k miles, another 4 wheel alignment was performed by the tire distributor. The second set of pirelli's were rotated every 5k miles as well however the inside of the front tires are still wearing out and now at 39,000 miles the tires need replaced again.full set of tires number three for a car that?s only two year's old.

2006 ford focus rear tires .normal driving conditions when tires start to shake and then wear unevenly on both sides.only 26000 miles on tires from the dealer. Have to replace.dealer says their is nothing wrong with car itself, just poor driving.front tires still have close to half life left.still have rear tires.

I have a 2002 volvo s 60 awd with the optional 17" x 7.5" "thor" wheels and pirelli tires. I have been through 3 sets of pirelli tires in less than 20,000 miles.pirelli is not interested in this issue as repeated attempts to contact them have proven unsuccessful.due to the ongoing problems i am having with my vehicle's tires, i have been researching the pirelli tires combined with the volvo s 60 awd and have found many alarming stories regarding safety concerns with my vehicle combined with the pirelli tire.many sources indicate problems with pirelli tires, especially on the s 60 awd with 17" wheel option. I am on my 3rd set of pirelli tires, my current set of tires have been balanced by three different pirelli dealers and i am still experiencing problems with warping and cupping, to the extent that my front two tires need to be replaced again.i see that there is a strong possibility that i could experience a tire blow-out because of the weakened side walls these tires ride on combined with the weight of my s60 and it's awd system.in march of 2002, due to loosing control of my 2002 s60 awd, i was involved in a serious traffic accident that resulted in airbag deployment.it wasn't until after my accident that i had learned the reason i lost control of my vehicle.apparently, lost control of my vehicle because of a front tire side-wall blow out, this occurred because of a rapid lane change i was forced to make to avoid a out-of-control driver.because of my ongoing tire problems and recent research that i have conducted, i have now realized that there is indeed a serious safety issue with my tires.this is shockingly reminiscent of the ford explorer / firestone tire incidents. Please investigate this situation immediately on all s 60 awd 7" wheel/pirelli tire fitments. I am seriously concerned with this safety flaw that volvo has obviously overlooked and feel that your immediate attention to this matter could lead to preventable injury or even deaths.

We have a 2005 volvo s60r.after hitting a pothole and destroying the right front tire and rim we replaced all four tires and wheels with o.e.m. 17" wheels and pirelli p6 tires.less than 1000 miles later two of the tires developed bulges in the sidewall at the exact same location on each tire.kline volvo would do nothing about it saying it was road hazard damage, but these tires didn't hit anything that doesn't occur in the normal course of driving, small road irregularities at low speed, etc.pirelli and volvo corporate were of no help either, both just referring me back to the dealer where i bought the tire.there are many, many pages of complaints on various internet sites about this tire developing sidewall bulges and having blowouts.somebody should make pirelli recall these tires before someone is killed.

I have a 1998 mercedes benz that i do not drive often and keep well stored in a heated garage. I was driving it and noticed the tire was low. I took it to discount tire, who informed me that my tires were down to tread wear of 2/32. These tires, although purchased several years ago, have less than 11,000 miles on them. Both the place i purchased the tires and the new tire shop refused to help me process any type of warranty complaint.

Pirelli p6 (p225/55 r18) tire failure on interstate 40. The entire tread area & about 1 inch of the sidewall broke away from both sidewalls.the remaining two sidewalls stayed on the rim but the tread came off. The tires are original to the 2006 ford 500 - with 40k mileage. The other 3 tires appear to be ok. All have been maintained and rotated every 5k miles. Fortunately there was no wreck - i was extremely lucky consider the traffic speed. I retrieved the tread from the roadside after having the tire replaced.

I have picked up a new audi a4 january 3,2007.it has been 4 weeks and i need to replace 3 tires.one was blown from a pothole...the other one went flat as i was driving down the highway around 80 mph for about 15 miles on it.the other developed a bubble on the sidewall.pirelli told me to send the tire in for evaluation, we will have an answer to you in about 4 to 8 weeks.what am i supposed to do for a spare tire?pirelli quotes,i don't know.what a joke!!!they are no help.i don't even have 2k on this car plus 3 of my rims are bent!so much for a new car...stay away from pirelli!!! they are a road hazards...garbage.

2007 ford five hundred tires are cracking, local tire dealer says it shouldn't be a problem....safety is not their first concern i guess. He says the pirelli p6 tires that are oem only have 50,000 mile rating to them, i have 37,000 miles and they are rotting. Tires keep going low.

I bought this new 2007 ford focus on 8-16-07 and when i left and headed down the highway my tires which are pirelli p6 four seasons 205/50r16 were making a terrible thumping noise. I called the dealer and was reassured by the salesman that the is what happens with low profile tires. I talked to him 5 or 6 times over a 2 to 3 week period and he kept telling me that is the sound of low performance tires. Well i went in for my oil change and to have my tires rotated and they told me my car was out of alignment and my tires were shot. The two front ones were wore on the inside and the back two had a funny wear pattern that they had never seen before. They also told me how much it would cost to have 4 new tires put on and a alignment. I went back to the dealer and i was put off. I was told i have no warranty with the tires as i was told by my salesman (who by the was is no longer there). I am upset because the service guy who made my appointment said they are seeing this alot with the 2007 ford focus pirelli tires but i am going to have to pay for new ones. I don't think so this is a problem i have had since i bought this car and something should be done a.s.a.p. Before someone gets killed out on the road.

Pirelli four seasons p6, tire size p235/45 r 17, dot no. Xbcuc236, i have had three instances where the tires have experienced sudden deflation while parking along a valley curb.no damage to the tires but had to have them remounted and balanced.i have also had two instances where the tires had sudden deflation while driving, once at 35 mph and once at 70 mph.in both instances, i was not immediately aware of the deflation and the tires were ruined as they were driven flat.there was no other damage to the tires and there had not been any impacts to them prior to deflation.the tires were provided as original equipment on my 2001 volvo s60. *la

Submitted this yesterday but gave incorrect e-mail address.clunking sound on some roads coming from tires on a 2008 ford taurus x automobile. Complained to dealer and they replaced two front pirelli p225/60r18 p6 tires made in brazil. Dealer said the tires were cupping. After about three weeks the sound is appearing again - possibly on the other two tires. Have you received any complaints from other people?

After significant vibration under front end at highway speeds appearing at less than 10,000 miles, car underwent alignment and 3 high speed balances. According to dealership, "all 4 tires were worn on insides and could only be caused by defect." dealer stated that "road forcing will not allow tires to be within the limit. Tires need to be replaced. Sent tires to manufacturer for warranty." service completed on 10.29.04, with pirellis replaced by same size michelins. Work order was completed on 1.7.05, which was the first time i saw details and charges, despite repeated requests since 10.29.04. My understanding, and authorization at the time, was for the pirellis to be replaced because of the defects, but with michelins, to avoid possibility of defects with the replacement pirellis, at a cost of up to $50 per tire because of the change. Dealer maintains i owe $915. 82 for the michelins, less the $212.80 credit pirelli issued on 1.7.05. Ironically, the vibration in the car continues with the new michelins. I do not believe it was the intent of the dealer to mislead me, but that was the result. A work order provided at the times requested instead of over two months later would have defined the agreement and resulted in a different course of action.

3 out of the 4 pirella tires i bought were defective, tread separation.

I have now had two sidewall tire blowouts on pirelli p6 four season p205 50/16 black sidewalls on two different ford focus's in the past 8 months.

The contact owns a 2004 ford focus.the vehicle has pirelli p6 tires.on march 2, 2005 and december 21, 2007, the tires went completely flat on the vehicle.the dealer replaced the tires, but it was undetermined which tires were replaced.it was later discovered that another tire had rotted and it was also replaced.on a different occasion, the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic.it was found that two tires had severe dry rot on the sidewalls and a rapid wear down.the mechanic suggested calling the manufacturer of both the vehicle and the tires.pirelli tires was notified and offered the contact 25% off the purchase of new tires. The failure mileage was 19,392 and current mileage was less than 30,000. Updated 10/20/08.*ljthe consumer stated one of the tires would not hold air and the ohter tire had a bulged. The consumer believed the reaming two tires were showing rapid deterioration.

I recently leased a volvo s60 with pirelli p6 235/45r17 tires.the vehicle has 2900 miles on it and i have had to replace three (3) of the tires.i am told it is due to road conditions, such as potholes, etc. There is no damage to any of my rims; therefore, i obviously did not hit anything that hard.i have been getting the run around from both volvo and pirelli with regard to this issue.volvo tells me that it is pirelli's responsibility and the customer service representative i spoke to at pirelli told me that volvo is trying to avoid their responsibility.he also informed me that he was processing four (4) claims that day from volvo for tire damage.i feel there is a problem with these tires and i am driving at risk to my children and myself.i have put out over $500 for tires in the last month and i am very nervous about continuing to operate my vehicle on these tires.i would appreciate anything you could do to assist me in getting some satisfaction from either volvo or pirelli tires.i am very nervous about driving the car with these tires. *nlm

Upon merging onto the highway at 35 mph,the front passenger side tire blow out. This almost resulted in lost of control of the vehicle. This was caused because the tire leaked air.the consumer attempted to replace the blown out tire with the spare, but the spare was leaking air also. The cause of the tire leaking air had not been determined, however road hazard had been eliminated.

I bought 2008 a4 on late december of 2008. Car came with the pirelli p6 four seasons tires..owned the car for 3 months now have 3600miles on the car.. First had 2 tire damages after driving on minor bumpy road at 25mph.. 1 tire got punctured on the sidewall 1 had bubbles on it.. Went back to the dealership ordered the same set of tires and replace them.. After 2 weeks, had another blow out on the same exact spot on the side wall with same damage.. Then again week later.. On nj turnpike at high speed had sudden blow out..which was resulted from sidewall puncture..and again ended up with flat tire and a bubble on the others.. I've noticed the same pattern here first you get bubble easily from normal type of driving going over little bumpy or rough roads.. Then all the sudden that bubble blows out, end up getting the blow out or a puncture.. I contacted pirelli tires several times and they denied on defective tire on this specific model.. They said they had nothing to do with blow outs cause from road hazards.. When the tire it self are defective in a way.. They should really recall this tire or get them off the market before someone really gets hurt or killed... Thank god i avoided an accident but it was real dangerous.. It could be yourself or your family member..i find pirelli tires highly responsible on this matter. And audi america and nhtsa should deal with them.

I drive a 2003 honda accord ex. Bought 2 new pirelli p6 four season tires, p205/60r16 . Started getting flat all of a sudden recently. Have 35,000 on a 60,000 tire. Was told by mechanic i need to replace them as the side walls have rotted out. Dangerous for me, as i commute 50 miles each way each day on a rough highway in nj. Will try to get some satisfaction on the warranty.

Forty eight days after purchasing a new set of pirelli p6 four season tires p235/45r17for our 2004 acura, my husband and i were crossing the chesapeake bay bridge, going approximately 35 miles an hour. About 3/4's of the way across the bridge, we heard a loud bang and the car instantly became more difficult to control. My husband was driving, and as there is no place to stop on the bridge, slowed down to a crawl and continued about a mile until he could safely pull over.there was nothing but the remains of sidewall on the rim. The police officer and the tow truck driver said they'd not seen anything like it but that we were correct in not stopping on the bridge. Upon research, we found that this complaint ofa sudden blow-out has come up several times with this particular tire. I am glad that it did not happen at a higher speed or in a situation where the outcome could have been worse. As it was, we were just delayed on our trip by a few hours. Fortunately, the store where we purchased the tires a few weeks before (at almost$900.00) replaced all four tires with yokohama, the brand that is original to our car. The car is dealer maintained and i am careful to check airpressure when i fill up the tank. At any rate, the sudden deflation was extraordinary, and as no other vehicles seemed to be having the problem, i doubt that there was something in the road that caused it. The tires only had 2,000 miles on them, and they had a 60,000 mile warranty. This was not a unique experience and i would hope that a recall is forthcoming before someone gets hurt or worse.

My car has been serviced according to volvo's recommendations. Volvo dealer balanced and rotated my tires at 15,000 miles and indicated they were fine. Al 16,000 miles the two rear tires (which were in the fron until the 15,000 mile service) started disintegrating at 16,000 miles (the steel cords started coming out). This can't be normal! i have tried to contact volvo numerous times (the dealer and volvo's 800 customer servicenumber) and volvo is ignoring my calls. I saw other volvo c70 cars at the dealer with similar problems and they only had 12,000 miles!. Car tires should last longer than this! have you received other complaints from volvo c70 owners? thank you very much! (dot number: natiresize: p22550r16)

Pirelli tires p6 four season failed after only 28,000 miles- with 2 sidewall bulges & tire with rolled belt**ccthe consumer was told the problem was due to running the tires flat on the vehicle.gm stated, the consumer must have hit something large to cause the problem, even though there were no dents, scrapes or rim damage to support the their claim.

Subject: pirelli p6 four seasons passenger/performance tire. I have never, until i purchased an audi a4 equipped with the aforementioned tire,had tires that suddenly deflate, develop bulges in the sidewall and fail unexpectedly at the slightest bump in the road. I have replaced all of my tires. And have now started replacing the replacements. Many of them were replaced with less than 5000 miles. The car is dealer maintained at the recommended intervals. This is a dangerous and frustrating experience. Is there anyway to have these tires recalled, or to initiate a class action suit against this manufacturer? there are many, many similar complaints about this tire on your website. How many fatal accidents must occur before action is taken? i had 2 tire failures today because of ruts in the road caused by snow and ice.

Tire defects leading to failure and potential harm to driver.

We are 15,000 miles into 4 new (april 2012 purchased, mounted may 2012) p225/55zr -17 pirelli p6 all-road 2007 production tires.i have had the tires inspected and balanced at regular service intervals and on this occasion (feb2013) was asked how old my tires were because they were in need of replacement and would likely result in a ticket by german police if stopped.by our mechanics estimate our tires looked three-four years old.because we live oconus we purchased our tires through tirerack.com.he recommended we try working with them to seek resolution, because our tires are not in compliance with german law and potentially unsafe.

I was driving home with my newborn daughter when i heard this awful rumbling from my left rear tire.upon gaining control of the car and getting it safely off the deserted country road into a field, i saw that the tire was completely deflated and barely hanging on the rim.after taking the tire to be repaired, i was told the tire was un-repairable, and the tire had a manufacturer's defect according to my tire man.the tire had bubbled in several places along the inner rim.the flat had come from a small nair hole the repairman said would not have caused it to deflate that fast without a defect being present.i contacted my ford dealer and was told my tire was underinflated.how they know this from a completely flat tire is beyond me.i was not offered any type of assistance in replacing my tires on my mercury montego that was barely 14 months old with around 23k miles on it.these defects are serious, and i wish you would take them as such before someone gets killed.

Am the owner of a 2004 audi a-4 equipped with pirelli p-6 p235/45 r-17 tires. These tires are original equipment and the vehicle. At approximately 12000 miles the rear driver's side tire developed a large sidewall bubble. This tire was immediately replaced. Now a week later and approximately 300 more miles, the same problem has developed at the driver"s side front tire.

2003 audi a6 had four tires replaced due to cracking of the sidewall.***nar***the consumer believes that when touching the curb while parking, the sidewall being so thin and low profile, simply crack, fail and puncture.the sidewalls cannot be fixed.this problem has occurred four times in the last two years.(pirelli p6 four season low profiles tires).

Bought volvo s60 awd from volvo of danbury july 2004.september 1, 2004 noticed a buble on the rear drivers side tire. On 10/25/2004 my wife had a blow out on i84 on the front drivers side tire while driving on a newly paved highway road.nearly injuring herself and cars around her on the 3 lane highway she barely made it over to the breakdown lane.the entire wall of the tire was seperate from the rest of the tire all the way around.the tire is a pirelli p6 fourseasons tire. P235/45 r17. Once the doughnut tire was put on i immediately drove to the nearest volvo dealer where the car was bought, and they would replace the tire but i would have to pay for both tires at a cost over 300 in total. I stated that the car was brand new and only had 8k miles, and they said i would need to contact pirelli.i called pirelli and they said i would need to contact an authorized dealer for inspection.i called the authorized dealer and they said there was nothing they could report because all was due to road hazards. My wife did not hit anything, therefore these tires are not made for drinving on normal roads especially with only 8k miles on the tires.i put a complaint into volvo corportate and they have not returned my call.my concern is for my wifes safety and the financial burden of replacing new tires especially in a car that is known for safety, and for the amount of money we paid for the car.no one is taking responsibility and volvo keeps putting these tires on their cars that are going to cause a serious accident to either my wife and or the cars that are driving next to her.

Concern with pirelli tire model p235/45r17-pirelli p6.-i have a total of 28,000 miles on an audi a4. I have had two blowouts and three tires that have needed to be replaced. Specifically, the sidewalls of the tires bubble out in weak spots. Last week my wife was driving my car and got a flat on the sidewall, and i noticed when fixing her tire that now another one of the tires has a bubble. I will once againhave to replace two tires.i believe this is a dangerous problem that could result in loss of control of a vehicle.i am not a high performance driver. I drive for work and family related matters only so this problem is not related to excessive driving speeds or harsh handling.i am following this complaint with a complaint directly to pirelli and to audi of america.if desired i can forward a digital photo of the typical bubble.bruce hendee

Experienced a sidewall blowout of the front passenger tire on my recently-purchased saab 9-3 linear.the vehicle had 13.5k miles when purchased, the tire blew at 14.2k.was driving 50 mph on a local highway, did not hit anything, tires had very recently been inspected for wear and inflation, there was no precipitating event prior to hearing a loud "pop";shortly thereafter felt and heard the effects of the deflated tire.tire remained on the wheel, but was flat with a significant hole in the sidewall.the tires on the vehicle were pirelli p6 four season tires 215/55r16.

I recently brought my volvo s60 for 15000 mile service(my car had 16200) and was informed that i needed 4 new tires. How shocked we were. The dealer informed us that this was pirelli and we must contact them. I did and was told to see a authorized pirelli dealer. Brought the car in waited and then told me they will only take 20%off. Whilei waited for tire dealer to return my call bubbles formed in the tires. This can't be safe . Volvo prides themselves on safe cars. How safe can they be with bad tires. Pirelliand volvo better watch out. Remember ford and firestone. They are only a few miles behind. No fatalities yet!!!

2003 audi a6 tire sidewall is thin.the consumer stated there is a structural problem with the tire.during parking, if the tire touches the curb; the tire fails.

I have a 2002 jaguar x-type equipped with pirelli p6 low profile tires and alloy rims.in the past 6 winter months, i have experienced 4 incidences of sidewall bubbles and one sidewall blowout.i have talked to other jaguar owners regarding these tires and find that this is a common failure.i believe that these tires are failing excessively.i believe that these tires are a safety problem.i believe that they are a misapplication for the service intended.the incident date listed is the last incident of failure.

I now drive an audi a6 with pirelli p/6 tires. I have had 5 blow-outs in the past 19 months. The sidewalls are either paper thin or non-existent. I have been driving for over 40 years and haven't had 5 flat tires in that time. These tires are dangerous and should not be allowed to be put on cars that drive on regular streets. I have notified the dealer" new country audi of greenwich, ct.the sales manager said "didn't the salesperson tell you you had to be careful with these tires?" what kind of an answer is that?

Tires sidewalls.

I have a volvo s60 with 17" low profile pirelli p6 four season tires. I have 23,000 miles on the car and have had to replace 5 tires for side wall failureand unexplained flat tires( no punctures) i found a web site that lists 12 pagesof complaints by other volvo and audi owners with the same failures and mysterious flats. Pirelli and volvo have not responded to the problem.

Dt: the contact statedall four original tires had blow outs between 3/1/04 and 12/1/05. After each blow out, the tires were replaced at thecontact'sexpense. The first blow out occurred when the contact hit a pot hole at approximately 60 mph. The second blowout occurred immediately after the contact hit a bump in the road at 40 mph. The third occurred when hitting a pot hole at an undetermined speed. The last blow out happenedwhen hitting a pot hole at 40 mph. In two of the incidents the wheel was also damaged. Every tire appeared to have sidewall damage. The tires were regularly serviced. The vehicle manufacturer indicated there was no warranty for road hazards. Updated 02/07/06.

I have replaced 3 pirelli p6 235/45 r17 tires due to bubbling of the sidewall.i complained to the dealer about this and they stated that they knew of no particular problem with this tire or car model. I then found on the web that someone had already complained to the nhtsa about this very same problem. I have e-mailed volvo and pirelli and i am awaiting reply.however, the safety issue appears serious enough to warrant my contacting the nhtsa.

The front tire on my volvo v70 developed a crack on the side wall by the wheel rim under normal usage conditions less than a month after i bought the car.i took the car back to smythe volvo of san jose where the purchase was made.the sales manager, michael, refused to address the problem or even take a look at my car, and initiated a challenge for me to sue volvo.the service manager initially promised to look into resolving the problem for me with volvo corporate, but ultimately fell thru.i escalated the issue all the way up to the ceo of volvo north america, and they said that they don't cover the tire under the warranty.the tire manufacturer, pirelli, has also refused service so far.the problem is with the design of the tire.i did a brief research on the internet, and pulled up 18 pages of mostly complaints from other volvo and audi owners who have had similar problems with their tires.the side wall of this pirelli p6 tire develops bubbles and cracks easily if it runs into any road irregularity.i did a search on other tires of similar configuration and found no such problem.pirelli designed and manufactured the tire.volvo engineers and management choose the tire to put on its v70 wagon as an oem.now both of them are disclaiming responsibility via finger pointing and technicalities on their warranties.they have given me the usual run-arounds, and in one case, outright rude treatment.

On 7/5/04 i discovered that the right front tire on my volvo v70 had large bulges on the side wall. The tire is a pirelli p6 235/45 r17 all season. This is an oem tire. The car has 9,300 miles on it. I dove the car immediately to the dealer where it sits currently. This is the second instance of this happening. The first instance occurred with a right front tire at 7,400 miles.

Bubbles in pirelli p6 all season tires after 6000 miles of use, normal driving.

I have a 2002 volvo s60 equipped with pirelli p6 235/45 r17's as oem option. I have less than 25,000 miles on my car and i have replaced 3 of these tires already. The first one blew out with less than 5,000 miles driven, the second one at 18,500 and the last one, which almost cost me to lose control of my vehicle on a major highway, with 22,500 driven miles. All three failures were on the sidewall of the tire and none could be repaired. The p6's supposedly come with 50,000 miles warranty on them. Volvo customer service claims failures are due to road conditions in ne usa and also due to the fact that these are "high performance tires": they seem to forget that tire safety is the basic performance criteria. I did some research on the internet and other "high performance tires" do not seem to fail as often as pirelli p6's. I'm convinced that these tires are junk and i will replace all four before winter driving conditions start.

I have a 2002 volvo s60 awd with pirelli p6 tires.back in january i had a blowout after hitting a bump in the road.now the 3 remaining tires have developed large bubbles in the sidewalls.all 4 of my rims are bent.i have complained to volvo and pirelli tire.they blame the road conditions in the northeast.they offered no assistance.i have found other people with the same complaint.over the weekend another tire went flat as one of the bubbles ruptured.as the car is not drivable, it sits in my driveway as i can't get anywhere with volvo.*nlm

The contact owns a 2006 saab 9-3.the vehicle has four pirelli p6 (size p215/55r16-97) season tires.the contact's wife was driving approximately 70 mph when the sidewall on the passenger side front tire suddenly burst.she was able to come to a complete stop and placed the spare tire on the vehicle.the tire has not been inspected, but the contact has discovered that several others have experienced the same failure with this brand of tire.the current and failure mileages were 16,400.

On 3/1/04 i discovered that the right front tire on my volvo v70 had large bulges on the side wall. The tire is a pirelli p6 235/45 r17 all season. This is an oem tire. The car has 7,400 miles on it. I dove the car immediately to the dealer. I was told by the dealer that the damage must have been cause by hitting something and it would not be covered under warranty. I have not hit anything with the tire and there was no there was no evidence of anykind of any impact. The dealer replaced the tire on 3/2/04 at my expense. I am filing this now because on 7/5/04 i had a second similar event. See odi number 10080391. Having researched the odi compliant log i have discovered that many people have reported this same problem including blowouts.

Dt*:the contact stated the tires on the front of the vehicle have been replaced nine times, within one and a half years.the side walls on the tires are blowing out.the tire repair shop was unable to determine the cause of the failure.the manufacturer of the vehicle has been alerted.

Not sure if this is the correct site to report this, but new audi 4a with pirelli p6 4 season 235/45/17 94v tires and 4000 miles experienced front driver and passenger side wall failures with no apparent reason. Web review indicates that there are multiple reports of this same situation in new cars without apparent precipitating event such as curb or pot holes. Bubbles only but this suggests to me a possible manufacturing defect in this batch of tires.

Our new audi a6 had the p6 p235/r17 installed as original equipment.within the first 4,000 miles, all under normal driving conditions, a large bulge developed on the sidewall of one of the rear tires.this created a very dangerous driving condition.when we had reported this issue to our dealer, they very rudely disclaimed responsibility and had given us the number for the tire manufacturer.when we had reported this to pirelli consumer affairs division, they quickly ascertained (without inspection) that this was caused by a road hazard, and would not be covered under warranty.at this stage we are looking toward our legal options, since both audi and pirelli are not interested in coming up with a solution short of us buying brand new tires.

I have now had two sidewall tire blowouts on pirelli p6 four season p205 50/16 black sidewalls on two different ford focus's in the past 8 months.

Pirelli 235/40r18 tires on a brand new 2007 volkswagen passat (oem tires) developed a sidewall bulge (no excessive speeding, no potholes, and no curbs encountered). In less than 4,000 miles, the tire developed sidewall bubbles. Many others report the same problem with these model tires (four seasons p6) having soft sidewalls that can rupture, however pirelli has not been at all willing to remedy the problem by replacing the tires. They claim road damage, however there is no road damage to found on the tire, or anywhere else on my vehicle. Had i been at high speed, this could have been fatal if the tire(s) were to rupture. These tires are dangerous.

I am the owner of a 2004 audi a-4 equipped with pirelli p-6 p235/45 r-17 tires. These tires are original equipment and the vehicle was purchesed from bell audi of rahway, nj.at approximately 3000 miles the rear right tire developed a large sidewall bubble.this tire was immediately relpaced with the full size spare (same type, model and rim).calls to the dealership, audi, usa and pirelli were met with limited information and assistance at best.in substance, i was told there was nothing they could / would do about this problem.now a approximately 6000 miles (3000 on the replacement), the same problem has developed at the right rear tire.calls once again are apparently falling upon deaf ears.undoubtably we have a safty issue here (as indicated by several other complaints lodged by other owners of p-6 tires) which is being ingnore by the tire manufacturer as well as audi, usa and its dealers.in view of the lack of response, and more importantly the safety issue, i'll be forced to replace all of these obviously defective tires on my vehicle at my own expense.i'm requesting that the nhtsa make further inquiries into this matter.i will also be very willing to provide my defective tires to the nhtsa, or any other independent agency, for testing, etc.furthermore, if the nhtsa, other governmental agencies, complaintants, owners, dealers, consumer groups, are interested in pursuing legal recourse please contact me as i am more than willing to assist in entering into a class action suit against pirelli, audi, etc.i am egerly awaiting your response.thank you.

The mileage on the perelli p6 tires for volvo s60 t5 is only 11,000 miles. During a crusing on the freeway, the driver heard a loud "pop" noise inside the car. After the car was driven home (within 5 miles), the driver notice a flat tire short time later.i went to volvo's dealer service department on 6/25/03 to see if i can get some assistance or explaination on the causes of my tire problems. The same thing happened 2 times before on the other tires. I was surprised how little help i got from the service consultant working there. It appears that they don't even care to hear or discuss my problems. Later on, i find out information from nhtsa that other drivers also experienced problems with pirelli p6. Since i don't feel safe driving on these factory installed tires, i decide to replace them the following day.

The front tire ondriver's side showed a 6-8 inch length spot on the inter tread of the tire, and both rear tires showed signs of high and low spots running diagonally.dealerinspected the tires, andinformed consumer that this problem was not caused by improper wheel alignment. These tires were original , pirelli tires, sizep205/50r16, anddot# xaw1e1991403.

Failure of a p-6 perrelli tire at 5000 miles. Subsequent failure of all tires at 20,000 miles.

On 5-4-07 i noticed driver's side rear tire was flat. My boyfriend filled it with air andi thought nothing further of it. On 5-15-07 i picked him up from work andhad a flat on the way out of the parking lot. We filled it with air, but could not make it home before it was totally flat again. Since it was after 11 pm andwe were close to home i continued to drive.once we arrived the tire had a chunk of tread missing, exposing metal barbs, on the outside of the tire.the boy friendchanged it the next day so we could take it to discount tire. They informed us that 3 of the 4 tires were bad, the other 2 would end up having tread torn in the same wa, due to mechanical error in manufacturingof the tire. Although they were still under warranty per mileage, we still had to buy 4 new tires.

3 out of the 4 pirella tires i bought were defective, tread separation.

The contact owns a 1993 pontiac grand prix.the contact stated that the pirelli p6 all weather tires (225 60/r16) on his vehicle were checked many times prior to them failing.he stated that the tires had two failed belts.the brakes on the front end were shaking and unevenly worn at 34,000 miles, even though the warranty was for 80,000 miles.the purchase date, vin, dot number, and incident date were unknown.the current mileage is 191,000 and failure mileage was 81,000.

Very low tire life/treadwear premature.
