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.
