On Jan. 10 2014 I purchased 2 new tires from les swab here in oroville CA. In oct. 2015 I noticed a wobble in my steering, took the car back to where I purchased the tires and ask them to rotate the tires and check for defects. Was told tires were ok but the problem persisted, went to a local repair shop and was told I had a tire bad tire separation, went back to les swab and they replaced the defective tire. Today the local repair shop advised me I had another tire separation and would have to be replaced. It is evident to me they are selling defective tires that should be recalled before someone gets killed.
Our front left tire literally exploded while driving on the freeway at approximately 70 miles per hour. It looks like a bomb had exploded inside it. We have never had this happen before - this type of catastrophic failure in a tire. The company is continental and the tire size is p215. 60r16 94t (for a mid size car) and on the lower side it has touring contact as. This is a brand that we have never purchased before - it was on the car when purchased as a used car (1 year old). We thank god this did not result in a terrible accident, considering the speed and location it happened. If you have any information regarding other problems with this tire, we would appreciate being advised of this. Thornton weymouth.
