Pirelli P6 Allroad, PLEASE stay away!
Pirelli P6 Allroad, PLEASE stay away!
I was driving along in the A4 today (yes, i know i should be driving my mini!), but anyways, while driving down the highway, i hear a very loud noise coming from the back, as well as rubber smell... i stopped the car and to my suprise, the tire has gone flat on me. No problem, swap the full size spare that the car came with and i was on my way 30 minutes later
but when i got home, i took the tire out of the back, and to my suprise! the inside wall as completely shredded! as well, the entire sidewall on the car has collapsed! there was a HUGE cut on the inside of the tire, and i dont recall stepping in something sharp like that... i read a few reviews on tire rack and it seems this side-wall collapse is a very common problem
anyways, for whatever car it maybe, STAY AWAY from this tire!

This happened to a friend of mine running stock RF on their MCS. They let the pressure get so low to where the axle side wall collapse. Basically the tire to road contact was concave, thus eat up the inside and ouside walls. They couldn't be driven on and it had to be towed. Keep an eye on tire pressure gang.
