| Tire problems |
I went for my regular wheel alignment last week and was told my tires need to be replaced - the tread was down to 3/32. I only have 30000 miles on the vehicle. I called continental and was told the tires are considered a "performance" tire and therefore have no tread warranty. I bought a new set o michelin defender tires today. When I look on line, tire rack for example says the tires should be good for 65000 miles. I did not expect to have to buy new tires this soon. I am a retired safety engineer civil servant that worked for the army tank automotive command and also nasa and was involved in several tire recalls in the 1980s for firestone so I have some knowledge about tires. I rotate the tires every 5-7k and get a wheel alignment at the same time. I do not abuse my tires. I feel that continental came up with a term so they do not have to stand behind their product. I will never buy their tires. This set came oem with my new Sorento.
