| Description of the problem | Pirelli scorpion zero tires. With less than 8,000 miles on the tires, i rolled over a one inch stone while driving 30 mph and the tire immediately lost air pressure. If this would have happened at high speed i would have lost control of the vehicle. The company's position is that the tire is safe, even though the stone penetrated through the full tread into the tire cavity.
