| Wheel problems |
Two of four wheels on this vehicle were found to be cracked on the inboard flange/bead seat area. These cracks were found during a routine service for tire rotation. There was no degradation in the vehicle's handling or performance. I bought this car new in Jan 2014, has 110k miles and it has never been in an accident. Tires have never been damaged in anyway - wear out replacements only.
Vehicle purchased April 2017 and tires "continental" were like new with full thread volume. Approx. 3 months later and about 5,000 miles the tires were worn to the point of needing replacement. Tires have prematurely worn out with normal driving. Tires are not very sturdy a nd that unsturdiness can be easily felt when driving under normal conditions and becomes worse when speeding. . Highway driving. . Etc tires wear prematurely and are not safe!!.
