Description of the problem | On 5/2/12 i went to my local ford dealer in manahawkin, nj to advise of cracking tires. These tires had only 19000 miles and were original equipment on my 2009 ford f150. They advised me to contact pirelli tire company. On 5/4/12 i contacted pirelli tire company via email and explained the problem. They advised me to go to a local pirelli dealer to have them inspected. On 5/8/12 i went to sbr tire exchange in manahawkin, nj to have them inspected. They confirmed the cracking problem and that the tires had 8/32 of tread left and the tires come with 12/32 new. They then contacted pirelli. Pirelli offered 60% toward a new set of pirelli tires. At first this sounded reasonable until i was advised that the tires would be sold at list price of $399. 95 each before the discount. This came to 791. 50 after the 60% discount with mounting and tax added. This is outrageous knowing the tires can be purchased for a similar price without the discount and same size comparable bf goodrich tires for less. Pirelli has clearly not stood behind a defective product that apparently has a common defect in that model tire. They are forcing me to purchase new tires after only 1/3 wear, years before they are needed because i am in fear for my safety and the safety of others. ## vin passed ## ford f150 2009 ##. |
