| Description of the problem | Purchased 4 new pirelli p4 205/55r16 91h tires on 11/1/10 from nashua wholesale tire in nashua nh. After 15k miles two of the tires are almost bald. These tires carry a 65k mile warranty. Returned to dealer seeking replacements. Deal was rude and said pirelli will not cover it, they do not even make that tire anymore. They will sell me 2 new p6 tires for full price. Contacted the president and vice president of pirelli, [xxx], and[xxx] asking for two new p4 replacements. Neither responded. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
