Description of the problem | I brought my 2004 audi a4 to jack daniels motors in march of 2007 to get new tires. They of course suggested pirelli tires and really didn't offer me any other choices. So i spent $826. 21 for new pirelli in march, 2007. Well now it's november of 2007 and i brought my audi back to them and they told me that the tires had to be changed because they lost the threads and were gong bald. When i told them i just put the tires on eight (8) months ago and weren't they warranted, they told me they weren't. Why would audi put on tires that didn't come with a warranty???? I called pirelli customer service and they told me the same thing. . I have had my tires replaced because they were not safe to drive on especially with the winter months upon me. I did not get tires from them, i bought tires that had a warranty from an tire dealer and they weren't pirelli. I would never again buy pirelli tires and feel i should get my money back for the garbage they put on the car at such a ridiculously high price. |
