I experienced complete tire traction failure using my dodge grandcaravan equipped with the pirelli tires described herein.the tires were purchased 6/27/00 from lawrence hill getty in huntington, ny.i had asked for all weather tires.on december 31, 2000, and then again on jan 1, 2001, i experinced no traction on the tires, and slid purposefully on two separate occasions into snowbanks, the first time to avoid hitting a car in front of me while travelling with my family of five, and then again to avoid sliding into a blind interesection.i brought the car into a goodyear dealer on 1/1/01, and bought goodyear aquatread 3's.the car handles admirably with these tires.i have contacted the pirelli manufacturer who stated that these tires are rated summer tires.i am shocked that any tire company would put any driverneedlessly in danger by putting summer rated tires in an allweather situation, especially when i specifically asked for all-weather tires.the company offered an unacceptable remedy.i am reporting these incidents to you to attempt to deter pirelli from this misleading and potentially fraudulent practice.i was travelling no more than 10-15 miles per hour, allowing plenty of time and distance to stop.i also ride motorcycles and am very aware of road surface, stopping distances, and alternative avenues of escape.it was this experience that kept me from critically or otherwise injuring my family or another family while relying to my detriment on the reputation of the pirelli tire company in providing proper tires in my area.the company is apparently looking to divert any responsibility for their product.are there any other reports of pirelli tire failure that i may see?thank you in advance.

Tire size is lt265/75r-16/c. The tire failed while returning from omaha with my wife and 8 month old son. I have digital pictures of the tire and truck that can be sent over e-mail. I have contacted pirelli and they want me to send the tire along with estimates to fix the truck. I spoke with nadine calderwood at 1-800-243-5105 ext 387. She did not seem to care if anyone was injured or not and seemed to be exactly like her title a risk manager. The tires have aprox 20,000 miles on them. I was driving 75 mph and the truck had a slight vibration i checked tire pressure when we stopped and visually inspected the tires. After we filled with gas the vibration was no longer there. After our second stop the vibration returned and then the tread separated with a violent crash destroying the entire side of the truck and causing the truck to almost loose control and shake violently. I understand that a large tire co like pirelli has to watch out for their best interest however they should put the customers well being at the top. I would appreciate any information you have about other pirelli tire separations that have been filed. Thank you. (dot number: chw8gp4419tiresize: 265 75r16c)

I am aware of the tire recall and questions about other manufacturers.i purchased a saab in 1986 equipped with pirelli tires.all four of the tire treads separated within 15,000, including one incident at 65 mph.

Original tireequipment blew out andreplacement tire has developed a bulge insidewall.pirelli and audi have been notified. Second replacement has split.
The problem i have experienced is a condition where the sidewall of the tires forms a bulge, causing the tire to become unbalanced and in danger of bursting.from speaking with several tire dealers, it seems that the cause of the problem is the ultra-low profile design of the tires which makes them unusually vulnerable to damage from normal road hazards.i have had four tires develop this condition on four separate occasions.since i am extremely cautious about avoiding road hazards, and put snow tires on the car in the winter, it is obviously not a coincidence.furtermore, it is quite evident that many other volve 850 owners have had the same bad fortune.( dot number: tire size: 205-45/z17 )
