Yeah, and don't hit anything lol. This winter has been good to us, so hopefully there aren't too many potholes.
A friend of mine that works for a Firestone dealer said it has something to do with the way they construct the sidewall of these tires. (taking his word because I haven't researched/googled it) They have nylon plates in the sidewall for strength and stability and when they are cold they are easily shattered thus causing the danger of blowing out the tire. This is also why they start "flat spotting" very easily too.
I am sure there is a "fluff" factor in what Pirelli puts in their warranty. Its like anything else with a rating on it...weight limits on vehicles etc...
