Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The mileage on the perelli p6 tires for volvo s60 t5 is only 11,000 miles. during a crusing on the freeway, the driver heard a loud "pop" noise inside the car. after the car was driven home (within 5 miles), the driver notice a flat tire short time later. i went to volvo's dealer service department on 6/25/03 to see if i can get some assistance or explaination on the causes of my tire problems. the same thing happened 2 times before on the other tires. i was surprised how little help i got from the service consultant working there. it appears that they don't even care to hear or discuss my problems. later on, i find out information from nhtsa that other drivers also experienced problems with pirelli p6. since i don't feel safe driving on these factory installed tires, i decide to replace them the following day.*ak
