I HAVE A 1999 MAZDA 626 WITH PIRELLI TIRES P8000 DRAGO P205/50R15. THE DOT IS CH UN C149 4100. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED APPROXIMATED 5:15 WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND THE TREAD OF THE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO MY CAR. THE TIRE IS STILL FULL OF AIR AND I HAD CONTACTED THE SELLER OF THE TIRE WHERE I WAS NOTIFIED THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND I AM CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF FILING A CLAIM WITH PIRELLI TIRES. THE TIRE IS LESS 2 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE RECEIPTS SHOWING THE PURCHASE DATE. *NM

MY 1999 MAZDA 626 WITH 74000 MILES WAS PAID OFF 4 MONTHS AGO AND THAT IS WHEN WARRANTY EXPIRED. NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD. $1,300 TO FIX, $2,600 NEW FROM DEALER.
