I have a brand new Hyundai Elantra gt with 17" wheels. It has about 3200 miles on it. I know that I recently hit a pothole on the highway, but nothing that I thought was very serious. I discovered a bubble on my left front tire shortly thereafter and ordered a brand new nexen 215/45r17, which is the brand the car came with. When the shop installed the tire, they discovered that my other front tire also had a smaller bubble on it. I am now getting that replaced as well. There are discussion forums online detailing case after case of Elantras with 17" wheels having bubbles, blow-outs on the highways etc. . Read more...

The tire blew out the side wall. Now there are bubbles appearing on the other tires. I contacted continental tire. Was told to take it to a continental tire dealer and give them file # [xxx]. I went to discount tire and they said continental tire would cover 50% of the two tires to be replaced, file # [xxx]. I believe that the tires are defective. I am afraid that the other 2 factory tires are going to do the same thing. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
