Pirelli's free road hazard warranty

Has anyone ever taken advantage of Pirelli's free road hazard warranty? I should have but didn't know about it. It's my own fault as I didn't read all my warranty paperwork in full. How many of you have inserted the tire warranty disk into your computer and read it in entirety?



I can tell you that your dealership will not offer up this information. For those who haven't read it, Pirelli does not recommend the repair of runflat tires and, therefore, offers a free road hazard warranty for their runflat tires. During the first year or 2/32 of tread wear, Pirelli will replace your tire for free, whether there is a defect in materials or workmanship or if your tire encounters road hazard damage. You just pay for the mounting and balancing. After the first year or 2/32 of tread wear, Pirelli will replace the tire on a pro rated basis.



My first X1 encountered a nail in the sidewall after I drove through a snow bank at Home Depot. I had the tire replaced at my dealership for $258. I admit I wasn't aware of Pirelli's warranty on my P7, and no one in the service dept mentioned it.



Just bought a new 2015 X1 and if I get a flat this time, I'll be taking advantage of the warranty.

Thanks for sharing this info. I'll likely pass on BMW's extra tire warranty with $50 deductible if I'm already covered by a pro rated Pirelli warranty.

dealers have every incentive to sell you a brand new tire at full msrp. They'll deny, and very noticeably drag their feet as they try to figure out this new warranty that they've never heard about.

Probably best just to print up a copy of the warranty and highlight the road hazard section. Stick it in your glovebox and have it ready in case you end up at a BMW dealership for a new tire.
