I own a 2008 Ford Escape XLT with 29,950 miles on the original continental contitrac SUV tires. In the past 6 weeks, I have had 2 of the tires blow out while I was driving on the interstate. The tires appear to be in excellent condition. The 1st incident occurred on 7/26/10, when the right front tire blew. The tire technician who examined and replaced the tire (with a comparable continental tire) said that the tire failed due to belt/tread separation. The 2nd incident occurred on 9/6/10, when the left front tire blew out. We haven't replaced it yet, but the tire tech said it looked identical to the 1st tire, and had failed due to belt/ tread separation. I've contacted both Ford motor comp. And continental tires. I want them to replace all 4 tires with a different brand. Considering that I was driving at 75mph when both tires blew, it's a miracle that I didn't wreck.
