3 Tire Sidewall problem

Failure Date: 01/04/2011

I have had two flat tires on my 2010 Volkswagen Jetta tdi in the past 3 weeks (the tires only have 23,000 miles on them). The first was the rear drivers side tire; I hit a small pot hole and the tire immediately went flat. I have driven this road for over 2 yrs now and never had a flat. The second one happened today on the interstate after hitting another small pothole. This was the drivers front tire and it also went immediately flat. Both are sidewall blowouts. I wonder how long I have until the other two decide to blowout. I do not have a lot of faith in these continental contiprocontact tires.
