Default Pirelli P6 Four Seasons Tires Suck!!!

I have 6000 miles on my 2003 A4 with P6 Four Season tires and one of the front tires is developing a bubble on the sidewall. What cheap effen tires! Had to use the spare to replace that one and plan to get it replaced. Anyone have the same problem?

Default I got a sidewall bubble on my P6s too.

Plus two flats w/in 2 weeks :^( Bad luck, I guess. Also, the roads are really lousy where I live so tires lead a hard life. I realized that I also needed to up my tire pressure to compensate--no lower than 37-38psi for me now.

The dealer wanted $175/tire. No thanks. If I were you I'd just get them at someplace like TireRack ($136/ea, IIRC) and drop ship them to a tire shop near you.

Default Weeeird...

Some guy with the same car as you posted recently on the Tire Rack survey for this tire with the same problem at the same mileage! Gotta be the lemon car!

Default Im going to the Pirelli store tomorrow to get it replaced, if they give me a hard time,

A complaint will be sent to the proper individual to have these tires recalled.. I don't want these tires to explode..just like the Firestones on SUV's...

Default if you're under warantee....take it back to the dealer

they'll take care of it...There's been some problems with these tires...my dealer warned me about it and told me that at the first sign to bring them in for a swap.
