I recently replaced all four tires on my passenger car (2004 BMW 325xi). After doing research on which to buy, we believed the rating in consumer's reports and purchased 4 continental pro contact tires (order was placed on 3/3/2009 and the tires were installed at tire rack on 3/6/2009). I had a service call on this car in February (2/10/2009) and the recorded miles from the vob service department were 29,750. On the day of the incident (4/18/2009), the miles on this car were 30,906. Therefore, the new tires had far less than 1000 miles on them. At about 8:15 pm on 4-18-2009, we had a tire blowout (right rear tire) going close to 70 mph on I-95 in maryland. The steel sidewall completely separated on this tire. My husband was driving and struggled to get the car over to the shoulder of the road. Although it was very dangerous (it was dark and lots of trucks and cars were speeding on the highway) we exited the car because we were concerned another vehicle might rear end it (even though the flashers were on). We called the police because we were having trouble giving the exact location ( we were not by a mile marker) to a towing service. The police did not come out. We eventually got a tow truck to change the tire. Luckily my spare was full sized and in good shape. My rim and the tire itself do not look like there was a major road hazard. We believe the tire failed. After the blow out incident, my automatic braking system light is lit. We don't know if the abs system has been affected. Although we could have been killed (this was very scary) no one was injured. We are trying to get a response from the tire installer (tire rack) and the tire manufacturer (continental).

Problems with vehicle's tire equipment. The consumer has replaced four tires because of blowouts incurred when hitting potholes. (goodyear eagle rs-a, high performance tires).

Took my car to BMW delaer to get tires rotated. They called me and said I need 4 new tires. My 325i is a 2001 and has 18,000 miles on it. My father has been in the car business all his life and said that my tires should have been good for at least 30,000 miles - especially with the low mileage I have. I have found so many complaints on the internet against continental and premature tire wear. There is obviously a problem that needs to be addressed. It is both a safety issue and a financial issue. Who wants to shell out $400 for new tires when they don't even last as long as they are supposed to! I am so scared to drive right now because I am afraid of a tire blowout. I am also going to write a letter to continental and request that they either replace all my tires or at least give me pro rata for new tires. Nhtsa - please look into this further!!!.
