Description of the problem	Continental tires that came installed on my 2015 audi a3 and appear to either have been defective or poorly installed. I started experiencing leaks in the rear right tire of the car, and took it to a mechanic for inspection. The mechanic's report (attached, along with pictures of the tire) states: "damage to bead of tire where it seats (sic) ... These conditions are caused by improper use of tools, incorrect techniques used when mounting/demounting tires and/or lack of bead lubrication". I have been driving my two young children in this car with this defective tire for about 16,000 miles and 3 years, and don't even want to think about what could have happened had the tire had failed at 65mph. Please note that your website fails when trying to upload pics. Happy to do so at a later date.
