On two separate occasions in 2006 and 2007, oem continental touring tires 225/45r17 on my 2006 Jaguar X-type sport sedan suffered spontaneous, catastrophic blow out failure under what should have been nominal operating conditions. {I-95, I-495, clear dry pavement, speed below 80 mph]. Since those events, remaining tires have exhibited sidewall bulging and other evidence of cord separation. Today (12/26/2008) while visiting safety website, learned of at least 50 similar spontaneous failures of same product, which is also oe tire on mercedes c300 and BMW 3 series sedans. This seems to be more than coincidence.
