SIDEWALL CRACKING ISSUE WITH ALL FOR TIRES - PIRELLI P ZERO NERO 245/40/R20 While traveling out of town (Dallas to San Antonio) we experienced some tire issues which led to us needing to replace all 4 tires. Several weeks prior, we began to noticed a very slight loss of tire pressure and had the tires checked twice for any objects or other damage – Nothing found. We also had the tires rotated to trouble shoot and rule out any issues with sensors – none. Both times, the service shops did not mention or recognize any tire damage or issues. During our 5 hour drive to San Antonio, we started to see tire pressure issues again along with a noticeable sound from the tires. With this concern, we took vehicle to Firestone for diagnosis and to our surprise they found severe damage and cracks to the side walls of the tires. Firestone confirmed the tire damage was not safe to drive on and due to the location of the damages, we would need to replace all 4 tires. We were shocked to see such severe cracking damage and were at a loss for how this could occur. The tires were in very good condition and still had significant tire tread with even wear. After some research we discovered that this type of side wall tire cracking has been know to happen and even Pirelli has recalled tires for this issue. We did not see a specific recall to this size tire but did find that Pirelli had another recall on tires made in 2016 saying "THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY A PRODUCTION ERROR (INCORRECT CARCASS COMPONENT), AND THE TIRES MAY SHOW SURFACE CRACKING IN THE LOWER SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE...". Please review this claim and confirm receipt. We are hoping to get some kind of reimbursement for the damages that we believe are a result of faulty or defective tires - this is what the Firestone technician also stated on video recording (I can provide video if needed). Thanks in advance for your consideration [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
