| I have a 2004 mini cooper that had nine month old pirelli eufori run flat tires on all four wheel that is exclusively driven by my wife. i used the car for the first time in several months and noticed abnormal handling on the vehiicle. i took the vehicle to a local tire store to have it checked out and discovered that all four tires has split down the center groove of each tire (photos available). on the most badly damaged tire, the steel belt was visible and had nearly worn through the steel belt. the store manager warned that the tires were defective and the vehicle was dangerous to drive on the existing set of tires. *tr | |||
