Is there any kind of warranty on the stock pirelli's? i've got 6k miles on mine and my whole inner sidewall of the tire tore... so im riding on a donut..

 

bump anyone know?

 

Typically there is a warranty on the tire within a certain amount of miles and treadwear. This is a warranty offered by Pirelli however, not your dealer.

If you bought the road hazard option/package/thing from your dealer then they should fix it under warranty.

 

Gm will cover tire seperation and other defects within the warranty period but no road hazzard you will have to take the tire in and have the parts manager look at it to determine the fault.

 

True. Also make sure you are running 33psi in your tires all the time. It's good to check once a week.

 

so basically if my dealer wont fix it, call pirelli?

 

pretty much yeah

 

Ok today I was driving and went over a little bump in the road, and heard a hissing noise. Pulled in the parking to see my left rear tire sporting about... 0 PSI!!! Took it off to see the inner side wall with a nice inch long cut! There was also a mark on the wheel where the cut is, I think the sidewall got pinched between the wheel and the bump in the road.

Do you guys think the tire is under warranty? Or do I have to fork out $220 for a new Pirelli? Also my car only has 4043 miles and the tires look like they've never been on the road before.

 

that sounds like pirelli should cover it

 

if you hit something its not warrantied

 

Werd

If you hit a curb or anything like that it will not be covered by GM nor by Perelli. Most likely sidewall damage is caused by hitting something, but if you really want it to be warranty keep taking it to different dealers till one says yes.

 

I didn't run over anything, or hit a curb. It was like a grate in the road that covered a little canal or something and I think it was lifted up a little bit or something, because the road was smooth and suddenly a bump then smooth again. I'v driven that road before and there was never a bump like that.

 

they will all say the same thing, and GM's policy is that if 2 dealers tell you the same thing then GM itself will not do anything to replace it under warranty either

 

So basically this weeks pay check is in the *******?

 

yep it happened to me too man

 

****!!! Alright thanks for the help.
