Description of the problem | I have picked up a new audi a4 january 3,2007. It has been 4 weeks and i need to replace 3 tires. One was blown from a pothole... The other one went flat as i was driving down the highway around 80 mph for about 15 miles on it. The other developed a bubble on the sidewall. Pirelli told me to send the tire in for evaluation, we will have an answer to you in about 4 to 8 weeks. What am i supposed to do for a spare tire? Pirelli quotes, i don't know. What a joke!!! They are no help. I don't even have 2k on this car plus 3 of my rims are bent! So much for a new car... Stay away from pirelli!!! They are a road hazards... Garbage. *nm |
