Tire Problems of Chrysler 300C

Got ready to take kids to the doctor and the tire was flat. Managed to get the tire aired up with compressor at house and took to a mechanic to check to see if the tire was punctured. Turns out no puncture. Decided to replace tire in case of "dryrot", when tire was taken off, the rim was cracked. Had to buy another rim. 2 months later, another rim did the same thing. Now we've had a third rim crack. These are the standard factory rims that the vehicle rolled of the production floor with.

The contact owns 2007 Chrysler 300c with continental conti-seal tires, size p225/60/r18, dot#af7d3rx. While the contact was examining the vehicle, he noticed that all four tires showed signs of premature tire wear. He took the tires to the dealership where the contact was informed that the tires needed to be replaced due to tread wear. The current and failure mileages were approximately 28,000.

Groove appeared on part of inner edge of tires exposing belt. It only had the groove on about 1/3 of the tire , not all the way around like a wear or alignment problem. The tires have lots of tread except in this little groove. After the air was let out for replacement a finger probe of the area felt very soft like you could put your finger through it. (18,000 miles on a well maintained 2007 srt8 Chrysler 300 with pressure warning system. ).

I purchase a Chrysler 300c in April 2007, new from a local dealership. Continental self sealing tires came with vehicle. A 1"nail, head diameter 2/16", punctured tire. Took vehicle to tire repair shop and was advised that after removal of nail , tire did not hold pressure, was advised to notify dealer for credit on tire. Dealer advised me since tire did not hold pressure, there was no warranty or credit on remaining tread, I was advised to purchase a new tire. Tires have 18,000 miles on them. Also was advised that the self sealing tire is not being manufactured any more, and are difficult to find. I am a very unhappy customer at this point and do not look forward to purchasing a new tire. Obviously your self-sealing tires work minimally at best. Might that be the reason they are being removed, and no longer available. I was advised it may take up to 3 wks to find a like tire. Is there a refund or credit on my tire? yes, I read the warranty. Please advise. Thank you, w. Pohler.

Conti seal tire doesn't seal its self. A staple lodged in tire, tire losing air, took tire in found staple and remove it. Told me it was a self sealing tire and they were unable to do any thing, tire should seal on its own. Tire does not seal air loss daily, have to refill daily. Tire has less than 7000 miles, and is on a brand new car. I am concerned for my safety now that I know these tires are defective, and do not perform as advertised.

2006 Chrysler 300c w/ continental contiseal 225/60r18 tires w/ 23k miles. Car riding extremely poor & went to dealer. They stated tires egg shaped & I needed to contact continental. They are on continental website as tire dealer, but didn't want to assist with problem. I went to a different continental dealer from the site, who pulled off tires, noticed 1 tire had 2 severe spots of separation & 3 were egg shaped. I was informed by dealers that contiseal tires all have poor life & the puncture sealant causes them to never stay in balance, thus causing abnormal wear & separation. Continental offered 50percent goodwill rate saying I was out of warranty, though tires rated 60k they said it does not apply to new cars. Also told they discontinued this brand of tire and "had new improved replacement series" because they found hemi engine cars are too heavy for contiseal soft tires. I am angry it cost me $400 to replace tires that had 30 percent usage, as well as both dealers said one tire was ready to separate at any minute & didn't even want me to drive the car home because of the danger. I do freeway driving and have an infant in the back seat!! I believe there should be an investigation into this poorly designed tire & recall issued. Why should consumers have to shell out money for tires that should have years of life left?? I even asked continental cust. Serv. Why the 50% rating, and he said because 1 tire had the separation & the rest only had started the process which only made my "drive rough". . I asked "if" it had separated on freeway what would they have done, and he said he would have given me the legal department. I am appalled at the danger of these tires. I have read complaints & there is a consistent problem obviously & I would like to see some action taken on this company & model of tire. It is simply too dangerous & admittedly so by the company's reps by stating the tires is too soft for hemi engines & this a common problem.
