Writing about the
Pirelli CINTURATO P6 given
10% (195-55-16-V)
Driving on
a combination of roads for 10000
average miles
I changed the original tires of the car after 3 years of normal wear out and replaced them in October 2015 with Pirelli Cinturauto P6 tires. I drive an average of 10,000 miles per year, the air pressure in the tires is the correct one as specified by the car, and I drive on country roads but very carefully. In December 2016 the right front tire showed a bulge on its sidewall so I replaced it immediately with another Cinturauto P6. In January 2017 the left front tire showed a similar bulge on its sidewall so I replaced it immediately with another Cinturauto P6. In May 2017 this left front tire 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 tire has exploded, I was not aware if there had been a bulge in the sidewall of this right back tire 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 tire should be so delicate and because I never had any problems with the original tires of the car with a similar type of driving.
As the tires have been failing one at a time I have had to keep replacing the defective tires for the same model but this last explosion has scared me and I am going to replace all four tires with others that are not so delicate.
