help.....
is there a warrantee on the Pirelli Run Flats?
if so, what kind of warrantee?

 

anybody, McFly ?????

 

Sounds like a good question for your dealer...why don't you just call?

Most tire warrantees only cover manufacturing defects, not tire damage. Therefore, in most cases, a tire warrantee isn't worth anything since 99% of early tire failures can be easily chalked up to your running over something versus the tire simply failing all by itself. But don't take my word for it...call your dealer.

 

looks like i'll be visiting my dealer today, to get the tire with the bubble/seperation from the rim replaced, i guess i'll find out then
i was just curious and wanted info before i go to the dealer today

also, NO flat tire monitor light came on
i think it's still holding air, of course i couldn't find any of my tire pressure gauges last night, but i will check the tire pressure before i go down to the dealer

Hit any curbs or potholes lately? Low profile, performance, tires IMO are notorious for this sort of bubble damage. On the other hand, I've seen tires do this from manufacturing problems too. Unless you also have a damaged (nicked or dented) rim -- which would give away the fact that you hit something -- it sounds like it'll be tough call on the warrantee. Good luck! :smile:

probably road damage (the roads in the N.E. are so fu*cked)
but i don't have any rim damage and i know it just happen over the weekend
i saw the tire damage as i was wiping down the car (not there in the morning, there in the evening)

 

I'm sorry to hear it but I do feel for you.
Hope the dealer can takes care of it.

 

I Belive (which means i don't know for sure) that the tyre is idependently warrentied by the manufacturer of the tyre.

mt $0.02.

go to any pirelli authorized tire dealer and they will replace if there is a separation between the rubber plies (manufacturing defect). They will NOT replace the tire if the separation is due to a road hazard or curb damage. Try Goodyear's, they are the best. 17" NCT 5's

 

koolmini,
You put the mush on me! I got my car washed today and I have the exact same problem. Bubble on the front driver side wheel. No rim damage or curb marks. No flat tire light. Seems to be holding pressure.
This is odd as we have the same type of wheel (17" OZ F1). Keep me posted on your progress.

 

i purchased a new tire and the dealer is checking with Pirelli about the warranty

 

I just switched to Toyos with lighter rims. Has anyone found a fitting space saver tire? What does the coopers have?
