Kip -

Glad you have not had problems with your wheels/tires. Please note, the problems with the Pirelli's is most noticeable with the 17" wheel/Pirelli tire combo. The 16" tires/wheels seem to be much better than the 17".

The sidewall of the 17" is just not strong enough to protect the rim and many people are experiencing "thumping" and or "Vibration" at highway speeds that can't be corrected. Extream cases have experienced a blow-out.

The 17" Pirelli SHOULD NOT be used on ANY 17" wheel.
