| On may 23, 2012 we purchased a new ford f-150 from beechmont ford in cincinnati and took title in the state of kentucky. the truck was fitted with 4 pirelli scorpion tires. within the first 3000 miles we had 3 sidewall tire failures. with the first side wall failure we thought it was just bad luck and had to buy another matching tire for over $200.00. we subsequently had 2 more sidewall failures and were forced to buy a full set of new tires at a cost of over $1300.00 pirelli has consistently denied and blame and refused any form of reimbursement. when my wife returned the first tire to beechmont ford, she was approached by another customer who was there with a pirelli new sidewall tire failure. a month or so later, i was having the oil changed on the truck and i was telling the oil crew about the pirelli tire nightmare and the guy in the ?pit? asked if the tires were ?pirelli scorpion tires? and i said yes, why? he responded ?a lady was just in here with the same sidewall flat tire on a new cadillac. pirelli consistently denies any knowledge of a problem and they did not bother to ask for a lot number. i figure i am out 2 roadside flat tires, $1300 in new tires on a new truck that was not off/road, accidental discoveries of the same issue with the same tire from other owners and yet, pirelli denies all. hopefully, others may be spared this expense and inconvenience and risk and pirelli is forced to stand behind their products and their warranty. *tr | |||
