PIRELLI TIRE TIRES Complaints

Pirelli 245/40 R20 99W The driver rear tire had blown out on me as I was merging onto a highway. I heard a heard a loud pop sound and the car shook and I had to swerve back into my lane. I looked around me and there were no objects or pot holes. My tire emptied down to 7 PSI in about 5-10 seconds. I immediately pulled over to the side of the road. I inspected my tire and there was no damage to the exterior of the tire (nails, screws, debris, etc.), as well there was no scraping of the tire or abrasion. When the repair tech took off the tire to replace it he noticed the steel belt had separated on the tire and had protruded from the inside out and caused the tire to blow. This was extremely scary and dangerous. If there would have been a car to my right my car would have crashed into another car. My car is brand new and I've had it for about 1 1/2 months. It is a 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 SEL that was manufactured in 2024. The car has it's original tires from the manufacturer Hyundai. The tire is defective and was not safe to drive. I contacted Hyundai corporate and the dealership about this and they did nothing to reimburse me for the defective tire. I not only am still working for compensation for the tire that was $400 after taxes and fees, but I am trying to alert Hyundai about safety of this model tire.

I have the 2022 S 500 with 21 inch mag spoke rims with Pirelli 255/35R21 tires on it which comes stock from Mercedes Benz. I have now been in almost 15 tires repair claims and 3 rim replacements because of how poorly Mercedes designed the rims then put a tire soon the car that cannot handle the weight of the car. I hit a pot hole and my whole tire blew out almost causing a severe crash. this is again the almost 15th time this has happened. I took the car to Mercedes Beverly Hills and the service advisors say that now there is $16,000 dollars in damages on the car fro the constant impact it has taken from the rims being poorly designed on the car. I have asked many times to replace the tire brand to a better and thicker tire. but Mercedes will not allow that and demands I pay over 16k in damages to fix suspensions and the drive unit issues.

My five-month new Tesla Model Y tire blowout without any alert before it happened. The tire is original Pirelli Scorpion 255 / 45 / R19. Last week while I was driving at around 70 mph on a three-lane freeway. All of a sudden, I felt someone is dragging my wheels to the left. I was totally astonished. My first reaction was to hold my wheels. Within a few seconds I was totally out of control and zigzagging lanes a couple of times before I finally slowed down and pulled my car over to the shoulder. I was in the middle lane and fortunately there’s no cars on my sides at that particular moment. With that speed and that short period, I couldn’t avoid to bump on others if there’s any nearby. I was lucky that it didn’t happen a little earlier on a bridge or a little late when I would be driving on a multiple-lane beltway with construction site in the median. Tesla roadside assistance came to put a new tire for me and cost me $600. I truly believe it is design issue. I’ve been driving more than 20 years and this was my first time with tire blowout. Not to mention it’s just five months new. I’m pretty sure there’s no any warning before it happened. While I was waiting for the assistance on the shoulder, there’s a small message on the screen saying the tire pressure is very low and pull over safely. I’m not sure when this message showed up. But at least I’m sure it didn’t show up 5 minutes ago before I drove on freeway as I couldn’t pay attention on the screen while driving on freeway with high speed. Tesla should give warnings vocally and visually before this dangerous situation happens. I tried to report this issue to Tesla but couldn’t find any email address to report. Tesla should be aware of and evaluate this issue to make the existing and future driver to be more comfortable and safer.

The tire is a Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season and the size is: 255/45 R20. While driving on the freeway, I heard weird sound and the tire blowout suddenly causing dangerous movement of the car to the right and left and the car speed decreased quickly to 18 mph with no possibility to increase the speed (looks like this is a safety measure that is taken automatically by the car's computer in such cases). My safety and the safety of others were put at high risk as the cars behind me were moving at relatively high speed as this was at around 5:00 AM. The police came and inspected the tire that was in pieces and he didn't want me to wait for AAA for towing the car as the place it stopped was risky. So, he ordered a towing truck that arrived after around 20 minutes and towed the car to the nearest car's dealer which was close at that time. I left the car and keys. They called me after and the lady said that most probably for a certain reason the air pressure inside the tire became low and the tire blowout due to that. No warning signs or messages appeared prior to the failure.

LOW TIRE WARNING CAME ON. WENT TO TIRE SHOP. THEY REMOVED THE TIRE & SAID IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. WHILE THE TIRE WAS OFF THE RIM, HE SAID WE NEED TO TAKE PICTURES. THE SIDEWALL WAS CRACKING FROM THE INSIDE OUT. HE SAID THERE WAS NO DAMAGE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TIRE. PIRELLI TIRES P235/55R17 I HAVE THE PICTURES, BUT YOU WEBSITE WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO UPLOAD THEM.

The tires were purchased from NTB in August 2022. I noticed a bubble on the side of the tire 3 April. We contact NTB in Columbia,MD because we purchased them from the location and they were also put on at the location. They stated, we can purchase a new tire but there was nothing they could do. We purchased the tire from Walmart.com and took it into the Walmart Tire and Lube. The technician Kevin replaced the olde tire with the new and asked why didn’t we get a free replacement tire from wherever it was purchased from since it was a new tire and defective. We asked him to show us a defect and he showed a small slit inside the tire which caused the tire bubble. He then brought it back to us and placed it in our trunk to give back to NTB. NTB declined to replace the tire stating it was a Pirelli issue and we needed to contact them.
