I take it that the other front tyre is wearing normal for the mileage ? how many miles ?

did you buy the tyres new from a tyre supplier/fitter ? if so I would go back there first and let them provide the solution. ( should be some kind of guarantee )

remember that the first thing they will come back to you with is negligence or abuse on your part......ie over inflation......excessive wheel spinning............etc

so you need to prepare your spiel and be firm with them.

if you bought the tyres from another source eg from a private seller it will be very difficult to be recompensed, but as you say you could take it up with Pirelli, but could be a long process !!

ps does your 20 year old brother drive your car with the respect it deserves ?
