| Description of the problem | My complaint regards a defective continental contitrac lt275/65r18 tire on a 2008 ford f250 super duty pick-up. One of the original oem tires developed a shifted belt / separation at 43,910 miles w/ 9/32" of tread left on the tire. Continental has an ongoing voluntary recall program for lt275/70r18 tires on 2008 to 2009 ford f250 and f350 vehicles. The defect in my tire is also one of the defects listed for the lt275/70r18 tire recall. I believe continental has additional tires outside of the dot date code which, may not meet continental's performance expectations in the field and may warrant an additonal review for safety by the nhtsa. *tt |
