Consumer Description

PIRELLI TIRE FAILURE ON 1998 BMW 323IC. THE TIRES, AT LEAST TWO OF THE FOUR HAVE FAILED.THE CAR SHAKES AT ANY SPEED IN EXCESS OF 35 MPH. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT AFTER TESTING ON A VERY SOPHISTICATED MACHINE THAT THE TIRES HAVE EXCESSIVE ROAD FORCE PROBLEMS, TIRE RACK SAID PIRELLI WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THESE VERY EXPENSIVE TIRES, AS THEY ONLY COVER PROBLEMS W/N THE FIRST 2/32NDS OF WEAR. MY TIRES HAVE 3/32NDS OF WEAR. THEY CANNOT BE USED AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 35 MPH. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I WILL HAVE TO BUY A NEW SET OF TIRES, THIS DOSNT MAKE ANY SENSE. *NM
