Sure it's worth it. Those are good tires and why should you spend money on something when you don't need to?

Unless it’s covered under a road hazard warranty of some sort, it’s on you since that looks like it’s from hitting a pit hole or something
It sucks because it's both fronts :/ no idea wtf happened

The OEM tires (from the factory) are typically not included under any (tire) manufacturer warranty.

If they just replaced them though when you bought it, that’s a different story though.
Check with the dealer and manufacturer, as already recommended

They're not OEM tires. He bought the car as a CPO.

I'll buy new ones if the I know that this is just bad luck vs fragile branded wheels lol. I'm in upstate NY and potholes can happen but man really?

I looked up Pirelli Zero Nero GT.

They're max performance summer tires.

If you've had these tires on the car the whole time don't even waste your time with the warranty unless you're willing to fib about driving on summer tires from January til now. There's zero chance the warranty will be honored on tires driven out of season.

Thats what i keep hearing
They put them on the mk6's a lot (but not the GTs) and people always had complaints about them bubbling or cupping. I replaced mine with some michelins and it made me realize how loud the pzeros were too.

OK so should i modify the tire size and get a different brand? I was told that these are low profile so high risk apparently IDK.
