The contact owns continental t24565r16 tires on a 2007 GMC envoy. She stated that the two frontal tires had excessive tread wear. Abnormal tread wear can lead to tread separation, which increased the risk of a tire blow out and a vehicle crash. The tires were replaced. The failure mileage was 26,600. The current mileage was 27,100.
I purchased a new 2007 freeystyle, I have just under 17,000 miles. My continental tires are weather checked. My Ford dealer says I have to pay 60% of new tires along with balancing, disposal, etc. I am very concerned about the safety of the tires. Also, they say I have to put the same brand back on.
Three out of four tire valves cracked and leaked air during long highway trips. There was no sudden failure and no accidents occurred. The problem was corrected by replacing the tire valve and reinflating the tire.
