Tire Tread/belt Problems of Nissan Altima

The tires that came with my 2005 Nissan Altima had to be replaced with barely 26,000 miles on them in only 2 years! the tires that came with the car were continental touring tires that were supposed to last "til 88,000 miles. Pieces of tread pitted off the tires, all four! the company claimed it was just road hazard! we've never had tires on 40 cars we've owned do this! it made my ride very loud and felt rough when driving. The car was difficult to handle at speeds 55+! continental would only talk to us after we complained to Nissan, but their offer wasn't acceptible. They said we would get a discount of 30 dollars/tire and we would have to pay the rest, about $350 dollars. The clencher was that I had to buy continental! who wants to put defective tires back on their car? not me! I got a deal, else where for better tires. Companies should treat customers better, to keep customers. I will not buy another Nissan, or other vehicle again if they have the same tires! a person should not have to have a severe accident, or die to get a company to admit their product is defective.

Traveling on 95 north from va to MD in 2005 nissian Altima that was purchased 06/06/05 rear passenger tire completely shreded after gaining control of vehicle and pulling car over, only sidewalls of tire remained. We changed the tire to the donut that was provided with the vehicle and drove to the next exit in search for a place to replace a tire on a Sunday afternoon. I have contacted nissian along with continental tires in reference to defect have advised that I am concerned and no longer feel safe with these tires and requested they all be replaced for the safety of myself and family. The car currently has 1385 miles. At the time of the tire failure there were 1268 miles on the vehicle. The tire was inspected by a authorized continential dealer in glen burnine maryland stated that the belts had seperated causing only the sidewalls to be left. Although no one in my family has been phyiscally hurt, this was a very emotionall incident. This could have potentially been alot worse and not only caused injury to us but other travelers as well. I feel that continental should be held to backing there products and providing customers with the knowledge that they are concerned about the safety of its consumers.
