| Description of the problem | I have had 6 blow outs or bumps in my times in 2. 5 years with these contiprocontact 245/40 r 18 97v tires in normal, urban driving. The rep at the dealership told me that this is a very common issue with these tires and he does not recommend them to anyone.

In the previous 10 years, i had 2 blow outs on my previous. Please investigate |
