Tire Sidewall Problems of Mazda MAZDA5

In less than 12 months, we have had 2 "continental purecontact with ecoplus technology" tires fail in spectacular fashion. Both tires had nearly ripped in half from sidewall to sidewall while driving. 1 of the tires did so after hitting a pothole, while the other did so while at over 50 mph and no visible debris/potholes around. Tires were inflated to around 32 psi, and were between 1 and 2 years old with 80% of tread remaining.

The driver side front tire developed a large blister on the sidewall. The driver side rear tear had a screw in the sidewall.

The current and failure mileages were 1228.

The contact owns a 2006 Mazda 5. The vehicle has dunlop signature sport, size 205/50/r17 tires (na). While having the tires routinely serviced, the inspector noticed that the wires on all four tires were sticking out of the sidewalls. The Mazda dealer replaced two tires as a free remedy and the other two were repaired at the consumer's expense. Three months later, the front passenger side tire went entirely flat. He then took the vehicle back to the dealer and was informed that the sidewall had completely split and was not able to be repaired. The tire was replaced. The manufacturer stated that they were aware of the failure, but there were no recalls available. All five tires that were replaced on the vehicle were identical. The transmission type was unknown. The failure mileage was 15,000 and current mileage was 21,000.
