I BOUGHT NEW PIRELLY MT66 TIRES 5 MONTHS AGO. THESE TIRES WERE INSTALLED ON A DAILY RIDER (MOTORCYCLE RIDEN DAILY). LAST WEEK, I DISCOVERED THAT THE TIRE HAD DEVELOPED A LUMP (WITH STRESS MARKS) AT THE EDGE OF THE BEAD. I HAVE SINCE REMOVED THE TIRE, AND HAVE HAD TO ORDER A REPLACEMENT TIRE. NO WARRANTY APPLICABLE TO MY SITUATION. *TR

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
