| Subject: pirelli p6 four seasons passenger/performance tire. i have never, until i purchased an audi a4 equipped with the aforementioned tire, had tires that suddenly deflate, develop bulges in the sidewall and fail unexpectedly at the slightest bump in the road. i have replaced all of my tires. and have now started replacing the replacements. many of them were replaced with less than 5000 miles. the car is dealer maintained at the recommended intervals. this is a dangerous and frustrating experience. is there anyway to have these tires recalled, or to initiate a class action suit against this manufacturer? there are many, many similar complaints about this tire on your website. how many fatal accidents must occur before action is taken? i had 2 tire failures today because of ruts in the road caused by snow and ice. *nm | |||
