| Description of the problem | I have experienced 4 front tire failures with the continental procontact tx tires that are oem on the 2018 genesis g80 sport. All failures have been at highway speed with 2 complete sidewall failures and 2 blowouts. In each instance i had no warning and had to carefully move to the right shoulder. I have been driving over 40 years and have only experienced one other blowout. With this vehicle/tire combination i have had 4 blowouts in 90 days. The car has 5,600 miles on it. These tires are unsafe and should be recalled. |
