Upon inspections at the tire store, all 4 of 4 pirelli p3000 cinturato (p185/65r-14) tires on my passenger car had to be replaced because of a manufacturer's defect, per the tire technician. The technician showed me a crack in the rubber running the circumference of the sidewalls, not far from the tread area. Eventually, he said the tread would separate from the rest of the tire if the tire remained in service. I have the original receipt and replacement receipts. I believe the tires were being returned to the pirelli manufacturer.

What 1996 Honda Civic owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Purchased tires from ntb model ntw 17570tr13 viper t owl 50 on 6/23/98 mileage 65158. First tire separated on 8/22/02 mileage 97200, second tire separated (out of round) 9/18/02 mileage 97234, third tire bubbled 5/11/03 mileage 99517.
We were driving on the garden state parkway on friday 7/06/2001 when we first started to hear a sound coming from the right rear of the car. The sound worsened as we went faster. We were driving home the following sunday and decided to get the sound checked out as it continued to get louder each day. We managed to get it to the shop where it was determined that the tread was coming loose from the tire. The very next morning the tire went flat. When it was removed, the tread came completely off. I consider ourselves fortunate in light of what has happened in the past to the explorer owners with firestone tires. I would like to know if other complaints have been filed regarding this type of tire and if there is an avenue to get the remaining tires replaced at the cost of the manufactuer. Thanks for any help you can give me.*ak (dot number: w27j tiresize: p815/65r14)
