My XC40 T5 has under 5000 miles. I had a tire blowout a few days back. There was no tire left, and excessive damage to the car. I have Pirelli Tires. Anyone have this experience or feedback on Pirelli? Should I consider changing tires to a different brand.

Sorry to see that happened. I plan to buy something other than the Pirrellis when it comes time to replace them in a few thousand miles. Your dealer should have at least a couple options to offer you. And I am a fan of Discount Tire if you have one near you.

Go to tirerack.com plug in the vehicle details and style of tires you want and you will get plenty of choices and real user reviews. I live in Southeast and buy from Discount Tire and they can order anything they don’t stock. I love Michelin, but are expensive, so I tend to buy Continental UHP DWS06 on several cars and love them. I also have bought the General GMAX which are very good as a UHP.
