Noticed cracks developing in the outer sidewall sipes and micro cracks in the sidewalls. Wondering if anyone else has seen this happen??
Car only has 10K kms./6K miles on it. Stored winters and has only seen light track use (1 day - 3 X 20 min. sessions).
Spoke to Pirelli warranty dept. and they said they cover cracking up to 4 yrs. (Feb.2015 for my tires). Said to take it into one of their authorized dealers, which I did. Here's what I was told:
Have to install a new set of their P-Zero's (and pay for them), return tires to Pirelli (shipping cost is on me). They will inspect and determine if there is a valid issue/claim and they will credit the dealer back some amount, and thus myself with whatever the difference is. No doubt it's prorated based on tire wear. I still have 8 or 9 tenths on the fronts and about 7 tenths on the rear. I've heard these tires are quite expensive........hence why I thought this might be worth pursuing.
Disappointed to say the least with this problem developing on the tires with so little wear on them.
