PART TWO;; BLOODY PIRELLE; S
Permalink  

After replacing replacing two a couple of weeks back on the front three of the remaining four on rear all fell apart as well.

Not impressed at at all at 20 a 22000kls.

We were delayed for 5.5 days to get replacements; not pirelli crap.

All started on a saturday miday so nothing till monday.

Placed order ; a call back to say none in warehouse melbourne they were on the docks be wednesday. Some useless xyz didnt put them on the truck so now thursday.

We managed to get into Warrnambool for a few days where we had family. Bugger those thieving parks.

Not having a very good run There Jim(to put it lightly)

What are you replacing them with?
or are you getting replacements under warranty?

yes warnambool is flamin expensive and I think you can blame the council for that they own the parks I think.

stay cool mate

smile I feel your pain. Pirelli paid for 2 replacements after a bit of argy Bargy. I then replaced the other 4 with goodYears. Only had 19000 ks on the crap. Worn like you wouldn't believe. All tyre company's say the same thing. AVOID pirelli light truck tyres. 

there endeth the lesson.

good luck Jim.

I fitted Pirelli Scorpion LT245/70R16 ATR to my BT50. They've done 50,000 klm. So far ok. 

Is this problem related to a particular tyre ?

I try to buy my tyres from Bob Jane. They back what they sell.(Never had put their backup to the test) At $300 a piece one wants some sort of backup.

CheersPete

Shut the front gate!

What have you done to then all JC? Maybe if you stop doing donuts they might last longer.

Not a good add for the Tyres at all mate. I hope the next batch do the job at hand and last heaps longer. Will ring soon mate.

 Frank. Fitted toyo to the rear as they are are a bit more open a have a more square shoulder which I think should be better in a dual wheel system.
