ChemChina buys Pirelli

The same fears were echoed when Tata bought Land Rover.
Ironically, that brand has flourished more under their ownership than any time in recent memory.

If quality goes south, customers will simply walk away.

(I prefer Michelin and Dunlops anyway )

 

or when Geely bought Volvo.

 

I'm surprised Pirelli has not come out with a statement yet.


Pirelli's not for me in the future. In years ahead, Harbor Freight will sell them.

 

or when Chinese backed NEVS bough SAAB - maybe not a good example!


Michelin for me too

 

Pirelli really hasn't been a prominent player in the consumer tire market for a while now - maybe just around F1 circles and Ferrari guys...

But to echo others statements - Michelin seems to have run away with the market lately anyway!

 

Pirelli are stock tires on most of the Porsches ..I know I'll stick with them whenever replacement is needed...

 

The PZero's that come on our cars are made in Germany. Until the new owners move the production elsewhere, who cares who the owners are?
