I don’t know if it’s caused by specific problems with the Pirelli’s or general issues with the vulnerability of 19” runflats. One sidewall blowout was definitely due to hitting a large pothole, but the others happened after driving on a road that was just generally rough due to recent construction.
I had those in 19" on my e450 wagon and had at least 3 sidewall bubbles in under a year from 'normal' (for the North East) pothole collisions. Those tires sucked. Swapped them out for Continental DWS and never had another issue.
