Tire defect warranty

[Steveinarizona]

It’s worth trying with Pirelli; they have, rarely, approved good will discounts / refunds. But that’s unusual.

And yes, unfortunately neither Lucid nor Pirelli will reimburse for bubbles, even though Pirelli arguably should.

Get the DT/AT certs.

What we need is someone like me who is a retired litigator who can sue Pirelli. Alas, I had given up getting the RWD Pure and got the Genesis GV60P so I don't have the car and therefore I don't have the defect and can't sue. Pirelli is likely living off the concept that the tire cost is not enough for anyone to hire a lawyer and sue. someone could try in Small Claims Court (assuming there is such a court in the state in question) but most states allow the defendant to remove the case to regular court and that is what most large corporations do.

What exactly would you be suing for? Just curious, because for every person who is having an issue, there is someone who is not. What would you have to prove to win?

That it was a defect, not a driver caused problem. Would require a lot of discovery as the evidence would have to be other claims that the defendant denied to show a pattern of defects.

I guess that's my point is how do you prove a defect? The only time I got a bubble was when I hit a curb, obviously driver error. Plenty of people who keep reporting issues I'm almost certain hit something on the road, how can you prove you didn't?

Yes...one would have to get around that. Has Perelli had similar claims experience and denials on other tires or other sized versions of the same tire? One would have to make a statistical case. Not easy. Given the amount of money at stake (tire cost) it would take an angry, committed and retired litigator to pursue the issue.
