"I had these tires as OEM tires on my Volvo S60 T5. These tires have bad wet traction and ok dry traction. Handling sucks, the sidewall is too soft."

"Don't let my rating for this tire fool you. I would never buy this tire again. This tire came OEM on my 2002 Volvo S60 AWD (luv the car). Both front tires developed sidewall bubbles. They were probably from potholes. I know the drivers side went through a large pothole at highway speed, but I don't have an excuse for the passenger side. I am replacing all 4 tires with Bridgestone Potenza 950's rather than replace the 2 bad tires with Pirelli's."

"I HAVE HAD 3 FLATS IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS WITH THIS P6 FOUR SEASON TIRE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THESE TIRES OVERHEAT AND ARE NOT CAPABLE OF SUSTAINING MINOR BUMPS AND/OR OBJECTS IN THE ROAD. THE FIRST ONE WAS FROM A POT HOLE IN THE STREET GOING APPROX 30 MPH; SECOND ONE GOING APPROX 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY (I COULD'VE DIED WHEN THE TIRE BLEW); AND THIRD ONE GOING APPROX 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY. THE FIRST AND THIRD BLOWS WERE ON THE RIGHT REAR TIRE AND THE SECOND BLOW WAS ON THE LEFT REAR. THESE TIRES SUCK BIG TIME ADDITIONALLY, I NOTICE THAT I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING ON WET ROADS; SO MUCH FOR "ALL SEASON"."

"The p6 came as OEM on my 2001 Volvo S60 T5 and after only 26000km I suffered a sidewall bulge due to a minor pothole. My friend has the same car has has suffered 2 bulges. The tires are crap and Pirelli doesn't offer warrantee on OEM tires so I'm going to replace them all."

"Tires came on optional 17" wheels on 2001 Volvo V70 T5. I have replaced two that developed sidewall bulges, from hitting potholes I assume. In the last two days the third of them has developed a sidewall bulge. The second one also allowed the wheel to crack! They are noisy and their performance is below average for a tire of this cost. I am replacing all four on Wednesday with either a BF Goodrich g-Force T/A or Bridgestone Potenza S03."

"I now know that I am not alone with having problems with these tires. I received them OEM when I purchased my Volvo S60 T5. At approximately 18K miles the front passenger side tire developed a buldge in the sidewall. I am beginning to smell a rat.. When I took it back into the dealer they said that I had hit a curb (although there was no visible scarring on either the tire or the wheel)... hmmm... Does anyone see a pattern developing here?"

"Two replaced at 9,500 due to pothole -- tire funcitonal but rims damaged. One more blew out at 14,800 no apparent reason. Tire pressures well maintained at high end of recommended range. My other car uses low profile, speed rated tires of another brand with no problems. Find another tire. "

"“2003 Saab 9-3 SS Linear” The 16” Pirelli P6 4 seasons came OEM with my Linear 5 speed. These were GREAT tires for the first few months. I currently have 8000 Miles on them and they are some of the loudest tires I have ever heard. The absolute worst sound comes from slow turns in a “wet” parking garage… oooohh. It’s a hard rubbing, grinding sound that I only hear when the pavement is wet. I keep them properly pressured, and Saab had no advice to give. Because I bought the car at the end of Jan 03,’ I had the luxury of testing brand new tires out in the snow. I had pretty good luck with them. No tire bubbles as others have reported, and fairly good handling. A nice, stiff ride at high speeds. In garages, and sharp turns, ears beware.. these tires are noise machines. "

"2003 Audi A6 with only 1000 miles on the tire, minute road irregularity caused inner sidewall failure...now what, perhaps a class action is in order or at least notification to the proper govt. agency."

"Tires were OEM on 17" wheels on 2001 Volvo S60 T5. They are very noisy, the sidewalls are very thin (which is ironic because the tire compound is very hard), and handling/performance is attrocious for the price. I've never had a tire to scare the S**t out of me like these do in wet weather (and these are all season tires!!!). I had 2 tires develop sidewall bulges within 6k miles, and Pirelli doesn't warranty OEM tires. Just pathetic!!"

"2002 Volvo S60 T5...these tires came as OEM rubber on 17" rims. I had to replace them at 18,000km. 5 flat tires in the last year. Soft sidewalls and many rim leaks. Bad wheel spin in wet weather. Probably the worst tire I've ever had. Going to buy top of the line Eagles for summer tires, and use my Gislaved Winter Tires for snow"

"I have an Audi A4 1.8T and I have had 2 tire buldges on the front passenger side within the last 3 months. The dealership will not even give me the time of day because I guess I hit a pothole, (In MIchigan go figure!) What is going on with these tires??? I cannot believe the poor quality of these tires. I now have to replace 2 tires and I'm beginning to think I should replace all 5 while I'm at it with an entirely new manufacture. "
