Wheel problem #1

Continental tires are cheap and prone to blowouts and sidewall bubbles. I got one bubble and dealer said it is a known problem with these tires.

Wheel problem #2

I have experienced 4 front tire failures with the continental procontact TX tires that are oem on the 2018 Genesis g80 sport. All failures have been at highway speed with 2 complete sidewall failures and 2 blowouts. In each instance I had no warning and had to carefully move to the right shoulder. I have been driving over 40 years and have only experienced one other blowout. With this vehicle/tire combination I have had 4 blowouts in 90 days. The car has 5,600 miles on it. These tires are unsafe and should be recalled.

Wheel problem #3

Brand new trailer. Valve stems in tires rated at max 80psi. Tires and dot label both require tires to be inflated to 110psi cold. Valve stem failed causing tire to rapidly deflate causing tire to shred and catch on fire on the freeway. Trailer began to sway uncontrollably almost causing an accident.
