Few days ago, my neighbor knocked on my door to let me know that my car's front tire is flat.



Passenger Side front..

Now similar incident happened to my C55's OEM front passenger tire. back in 06


My cars alignment were perfectly fine (as far I can tell..)
I never liked these tires anyway but geez...

If you are still rocking OEM Pzero rosso, check your tires..If you had similar experiences, please let me know.

thanks

Umm holy crap, I'm running Pzero Nero's in the rear and don't have that issue (so far).

Well, hope you have better luck with them.
Personally, I never like Pzeros and I know my oem tires are old...but dang.. this suxs..

hey man don't worry about it! my car came with these tires (i purchased the car with 32k i think) and changed them to ps2's about 3 months later. my front tires did the SAME thing and were leaking air on the inside. mainly my front left. i changed all the tires and i'm not looking back. everything changed for the better with these ps2's

This really shouldn't happen to a top tier tires.. I guess I wasn't the only one then... weird

That's really odd. Is your car lowered? Lowering the car often increases negative camber and puts more pressure constantly on the inner side of the tire.

Stock suspension This happened on two separate cars (SLK55 + C55)
Really weird..

I guess you guys have long forgotten about my Prielli's coming apart at the track

Center rib chunked, and fell apart at 125. Not a lot of fun I can assure you.

I will NEVER run these tire again on ANY car.

I just tried and it won't let me re load the same pic twice.

Check it out on my sudden tire deflation thread if you like.

Pirelli's are junk, I'll never buy them again. Way overpriced for what you get. Don't last very long, traction sucks, and noisy. My C63 wheels came with the Pzeros and the rears didn't last 3k and the FRONTs now have high roadforce (out of roundness) and ride like crap. I replaced the rears with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus which cost $100 less a tire, have amazing traction, and have almost 3k miles on them and still have 6/32 tread left.

Same thing here... both fronts. Rears were fine. Alignment was perfect.

Holy crap...
I can tell we are going to see a lot of tire failures in 2011 F1 season..
I wonder what Pirelli rep would say something about these..
