Consumer Description

I AM WRITING TO REPORT THE HIGH FAILURE RATE OF THE SIDEWALLS OF CONTINENTAL EXTREMECONTACT DWS ALL-SEASON TIRE - 225/45R17 91W. WITHIN A YEAR OF BUYING FOUR (4) NEW SETS OF THESE TIRES, THREE (3) OF THEM HAVE ALREADY FAILED. NOTICEABLY, ALL THE FAILURES STARTED OUT AS A BULGE IN THE SIDEWALL. IF THESE BULGING WENT UNDETECTED THEY WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN FATAL BLOW OUT WHILES DRIVING. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THESE BULGING TO COMPANY WHERE I PURCHASED THESE TIRES AND DID NOT GET ANY HELP SINCE THEY BLAME IT ON ME ON HITTING POTHOLES AND THAT ALL TIRES WILL DO THAT. BUT THAT IS FAR FROM THE TRUTH. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM/ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND REALIZED THAT I'M NOT ALONE. *JS
