Tire under warranty

Got a bulge in one of our P6 Pirelli tires. It was the size of a golf ball. The dealer could not get a replacement for 5 days. I went to a Tire Factory store and they can get a replacement for me tomorrow. It is being replaced for free under warranty. I totally expected to pay for the tire but both the dealer and The Tire Factory said that it was a defect in the side wall and covered by Pirelli. Lucky day.

Kind of shocked that the dealer doesn't have a quicker access to tires that are standard on the cars they sell.

While at the dealership I snapped this new black wheel on a Jetta.

yeah, usually sidewell bubbles are not covered, because the most likely hood of it happening is from hitting a POTHOLE or CURB, to cause a breakage in the sidewell.

I had that same thing happen to my Kuhmo's, but i bought the insurance and it was from Tire Rack the only painful part was sending the wheel back before they sent me an reimbursement, so i had to pay out of pocket.

Your lucky they are covering it!!
