Have there been complaints about the Pirelli tires with foam inlays falling apart because the foam comes unattached, then causing misalignment. Car becomes unsafe to drive as the tires start to disintegrate. My car started shaking so bad it became difficult to drive. Turned out foam inlay had become unattached which caused uneven wear and some tire disintegration along with the alignment getting out of whack. Tire size 235/40R19 96V pirelli p-zero - It happened with all four tires. Two in the front were relatively new and had less than 10000 miles on them

Service Writer and Technician advised tire/s failing due to 'foam' separating inside tire. Rotated tires and could not determine which tire.

WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH OF LEASING THIS NEW CAR (< 250 MILES), BOTH LOW PROFILE OEM FRONT TIRES (235/40R-19 PIRELLI P ZERO ALL SEASON VOL VOLVO, KS, PNCS XL, PART NUMBER 3158400) WERE DAMAGED BY POTHOLES. I WAS TOLD BY ONE LOCAL TIRE SHOP THAT LOW PROFILE TIRES ARE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE. I HAVE NOT DAMAGED TIRES ON POTHOLES LIKE THIS BEFORE. VOLVO DOES NOT WARRANT THESE (UNLESS YOU PURCHASE THEIR EXPENSIVE ROAD HAZARD PACKAGE), AND PIRELLI'S WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE. THE NEW TIRES COST $536.34, AND THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL $25 PER TIRE FOR MOUNTING AND BALANCING.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2019 Volvo S60 T5 verdict →
