    • Rollin', rollin', rollin, keep those tires rollin'...roll on....These folks could all recreate there famous rolls...down a hill...

  • I'm pretty sure that a majority of those who are to receive the calendars all sent letters and emails, and signed a petition, complaining about the past Pirelli calendars, with their photos of beautiful women and all. They demanded a calendar of ugly women. Yeah, that's the ticket.

  • Well, that is pretty fuxkup....don't send me one unless it is to lite up the BBQ. What a bunch of has beens....

  • There's gonna be some empty spaces on the walls at some tire shops next year. Or they'll be filled up with calendars that have no tires, just pretty women.

  • rich women creating a product for sale. the current culture is its highway. ka-ching to the photog and whatever these women were paid and all others that have their paws involved, from agents to printers and distributors and retailers.

    that's how i look at it.

    • what cracks me up, of course, is - "look how beaten down we are!!" as they call their wall street acct mgrs daily...

    • I wouldn't think those women would be attractive to lesbians, either. Unless they're PC lesbians. I mean,...Yoko Ono? Really?

    • They make cheap tires, looks like they should start making clothes...Perhaps they could get into the tent business.

      • They're tires aren't exactly inexpensive, if that's what you mean by cheap. I tried on on my one-ton truck, hauling trailers all over the country. 40,000 miles, and toss it out.

        I'm working on going full Michelin, one tire at a time. Yeah, they're expensive, but they're the best tire out there.

        • Those low profile car tires, the ones that pop off the rim at 35 miles per hour...Not the truck tires...

          • Low profile tires, or as I call them, wagon wheels, are only allowed on the cars of the most stupid Americans.

          • The car is usually a piece of shit with 5 thousand dollar rim,s, and a five thousand dollar stereo you can hear three blocks away...Kind of like a tard warning system to let you know a shitmobile is near.

          • There are rent a wheel places around here so the tards can have the big, stupid, rims, without having to come up with the cash up front.
            Mostly seen on an old Monte Carlo, or LTD.
            The stereo is so loud that it shakes the rust off the car on the way down the street, and eventually, parts fall off.

  • You know... I don't have a problem with this... profiling women for accomplishments no matter what they look like BUT not sure what they have to with tires? This just seems like a political correctness thing. I am sure the women that decided to be porn models in the past did so after being paid a sh*t load of money. No one forced them to do it, so I don't feel sorry for them and if they are willing to do it, there are people who are going to get into it. Now, if this is not what their VIP's want the VIPs will let them know, but if that is what they want then whatever...

    • I don't question these women's intelligence and impact on society. Leave the super models in the calendars or else we'll have supermodels write guest pieces for the "Atlantic Monthly" or 'The New England Journal of Medicine".

    • Face it kiddo, sex sells, it always has and women know it. From the Bond girls through Playboy. Sports Illustrated swim suit girls and womens fashions along with makeup, all designed to sell beauty and sexiness.

  • Just more PC bull shit in order to de nut the true males through out the world. First US Playboy, now Pirelli. These companies who all want to be so PC go out of business they wont understand why it happened.
