The tires on this Fiat are pirelli nero zero. All four are very choppy and badly worn. They were rotated at 5,000 miles. The road noise is so loud it overpowers the factory rumbling of the flow through exhaust system. The tires affect the handling as I get vibrations and the car darts from side to side on uneven road surfaces.
Problem with low tire pressure; occurs in multiple tires, not just same one, occurs about every other week. Most recent incident occurred 8/25/14, dealer has checked and states no problem/leaks found. Was at dealer for service on 8/29/14 no problems identified they filled air in all tires to mfg. Recommended pressure - 5 days later on 9/3/14 had a low psi of 24 on right rear tire. Have complained to dealer service department and have a follow up service appointment on 9/8/14.
Had to replace the oem tires on my 2013 Fiat 500 @ 5000 mi because of sidewall bulge, . tire size is 185 55 15 Firestone firehawk GT. No letters after GT, Firestone store told me its a road hazard problem. I looked on the web for Fiat tire problems, others are having same problem but seems to only be cars with firestones.so I believe there is a problem, none of my 5 other cars, which go the same places have a tire problem. I just tried to call in to vsh hotline and got treated like an idiot. I've been a mechanic for over 30 years, I may have some insight of what is normal tire performance.
