Tire Bubble Problems of Hyundai Genesis

The dealership replaced the original tires on our 2015 hyundia genisis 5. 0 with contiprocontact tires due to a recall on the original hankook tires in June 2016. Since then we have replaced , on six different accatiions,one of the tires . The first two, one front and one rear ,were because of bubbles on the sidewall. The next one was from tread seperation on a rear tire, and the last two ,were front tires, both from blow outs, after hitting small potholes at low speeds on two different accatiions. I have never had problems like this before,and I have been driving for over 50 years. I think these tires are defective and dangerous. Some one needs to do something before people start getting hurt or even killed from them.

Tl-the contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Genesis equipped with bridgestone tires, tire line: potenza, tire size: 225/45/r18, and dot number: e92aez. The contact stated that while driving at 65 mph, there was an abnormal noise and vibration on the front driver's side of the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic for inspection. The contact was informed that the vibration was due to tread separation which caused a bubble in the inner tread of the tire. The tire was not replaced. The tire was original equipment. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage of the tire and vehicle was 21,000. Ah.

Continental conti pro contact tire defect. Tire size: 235/45/19 95v. Bought new from dealer 2013 Genesis rspec with conti pro contact tires. A bubble on the sidewall of the tire formed and the tire deflated oct 7, 2013. New tires and new car purchased July 22, 2013 and only had 2340 miles on the car/tires when the defective bubble occurred. There was no impacts or road hazards to cause the defective bubble on the sidewall. The sidewall bubble area was mushy versus rigid/firm as the rest of the sidewall. Took car to dealer, and they said I would have to pay for a new tire while continental tire would assess the defect sidewall bubble. I searched the NHTSA. Gov data base and found that there are 39 complaints against the conti pro contact tires for sidewall bubble defects. I checked for any complaints for sidewall bubbles on continental extreme contact tires and there are none. Thus this appears to be a common defect only on the conti pro contact tires. I am hoping continental will replace the tire due to this defect. According the number (39) of complaints against the conti pro contact tire there is a common defect that doesn't occur with their other line of tires (extreme contact and others continentals) that I have owned on other cars with no issues.
