CONTINENTAL CONTITRAC TIRES Complaints

I HAD TREAD SEPARATE ON A SECOND TIRE ON MY VEHICLE (THE FIRST TIRE TREAD SEPERATED ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO). THIS HAPPENED WHILE ON A FREEWAY TRAVELING AT 65-70 MILES PER HOUR. A CHUNK OF TREAD ABOUT 12 -16 INCHES LONG RIPPED COMPLETELY OFF OF THE TIRE. I THEN HAD TO CHANGE THE TIRE ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY WITH CARS AND TRUCK PASSING ME AT 70 MILES PER HOUR. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY SCARY SITUATION. THE PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE WAS ALSO EXTREMELY DISTRESSED.*AK (DOT NUMBER: AD70 449 0 TIRESIZE: P245/75R16)

A LARGE BULGE DEVELOPED ON THE INSIDE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE, BUT IT DID NOT DEFLATE. IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE AGENT AT THE LINCOLN DEALER IN SAN ANTONIO, TX TOLD US THESE TIRES WERE ONLY GOOD FOR 20,000 MILES AND RECOMMENDED WE HAVE THEM ALL REPLACED. HE SOLD US A MICHELIN TIRE TO REPLACE THE DAMAGED ONE. THESE TIRES HAVE NOW ALL BEEN RECALLED AND WE GOT THE REMAINMING 4 REPLACED WITHOUT CHARGE. ( I WAS UNABLE TO GET YOUR PROGRAM TO TAKE ALL 17 DIGITS OF HTE VIN. IT IS 5LMPU28L3WLJ54862). *AK (DOT NUMBER: AD704490XX TIRESIZE: P245/75R16)
