What owners wrote
Both passenger front and rear tires blew out at the sidewall, the vehicle left the road way and flipped over. One tire blew while the vehicle was sitting and the other while pulling into a parking lot. The consumer had the second failed tire in their possession.
Dt*: the contact stated after purchasing two continental tires, the steering wheel wobbled and vibrated so badly the vehicle could not be controlled. An independent tire dealership determined the belts frayed and one tire had a broken belt. The vehicle was properly aligned after purchasing the tires. The tires were continental, size 205/6015. Continental asked the contact to take the tires to another dealership. This dealership requested the contact send the tires to them. Updated 10/18/2006 -
