Typical suspension symptoms owners report

  • Sidewall bubbles form on the stock Pirelli P Zero 235/45 R18 tires, sometimes on multiple tires and sometimes within weeks of purchase.
  • Tires blow out suddenly at highway speed or at a stop, with owners reporting no prior warning from the TPMS light.
  • TPMS warning lights either fail to illuminate before a flat or malfunction and require repeat dealer visits.
  • Uneven or rapid tread wear appears well before tires reach their rated mileage, in one case alongside a new sidewall bulge.
  • Some owners report the same tire being replaced more than once after a repeat bubble or blowout on the replacement tire.
