Description of the problem | 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.*ak |
