Consumer Description

Continental Pro Contact size 245/35 R 20 sidewall blew out with 265 miles on a brand-new car. Blew out leaving a parking lot at a very slow speed. The tire did not hit anything, it just lost all air pressure, and the warning light came on. Goodyear Tire employee came to the scene and determined the sidewall leak. There is no damage or marks to the tire. We purchased a new tire at the new car dealership and Goodyear installed on the car. We have detailed pictures. If this were to happen at highway speed it would be very dangerous, and we are concerned the other tires may have the same problem and could fail.
