The website itself says "You can file a personal injury and property damage claim against the City or contractors hired by the City including damage to a vehicle from a pothole." A friend of mine did it in LA and it worked. He sent photographs of the pothole with location information and the payment receipts for the tire and the wheel. |

I was able to get my P7 replaced for free under warranty from Perelli. Just call them and take the it to a shop they recommend and it is covered. Blew mine out in NYC pothole too two weeks ago.

What did you have to do to prove it? I don't know where mine was damaged; I just noticed that the sidewall is gone. My new tire arrives today; having it mounted tomorrow.

No proof by me. I called Pirelli and they worked with the shop that was a Pirelli certified repair shop and the shop validated the tire tread depth and sent it to Pirelli for me. They shouldn’t charge you for the replacement tire if near new otherwise they pro-rate the use and do a partial credit. Mine were less than 1 year old and only 7k miles so new tire was free. All I paid for was mount and balance.

When this is the front page of the local paper, you know you're in for trouble...

Had my new Pirelli installed today. The tire shop called Pirelli and I will be getting at least some coverage based on the wear on the tire. Thanks for the help.
I wonder if this is a flawed/weak tire as I have never been able to get a tire manufacturer to really warranty their tires like Pirelli just did. |

Tire Rack is great if getting wheels and tires usually comes out cheaper and you get the 2 year road hazard. Especially since they mount and balance for free. And if you pick up in Delaware at least there's no shipping or tax, I've done that a few times. BUT if you use the road hazard you do need to pay to get the tire mounted and balanced. If you are just getting tires and have to pay to mount and balance anyway, you're sometimes (often in my experience) better off getting the tires from your local shop and getting road hazard insurance there. Doing it that way if you need one replaced you do NOT have to pay for a mount and balance. On my M235 coupe I had to replace 3 or 4 tires I forget exactly but never had to pay for anything.

Anecdotally it seems like these tires are problematic. I've gone years without issues on a lot of cars with low profile tires. Shocking that we destroyed the sidewall without knowing which hit did it. The wheel is also not bent; the wheel balanced up almost perfect and only took one small weight... Usually the wheel will also get damaged when a tire sidewall gets destroyed in my experience (unless it is a forged wheel, which these are not). |
