Continental tire type 235/45/r18. I had a side wall blowout on I-95 while driving at a speed of 65mph. The tires came on a 2013 vw Passat tdi sel. The dealer in hyannis, MA where I purchased the vehicle said that it must have been something that I did. The tires had 16,500 miles in them with a tread wear of 2/32 (almost brand new). The dealer also said that they were not responsible for the tires that come on their vehicles. This website has numerous posts having to do with continental tire side wall blowouts. I believe this to be a potentially serious issue.

1) while I was driving in the highway I-10 at the speed of 50 miles/hour, the car is shaking and then after a minutes. 2) the passenger rear tire blowed out and hits a hole in the car. At the same time, rear bumper was damaged. 3) I had to change the tire in the highway and due to safety concerns, I changed all 4 tires manufactured by bridgestone. My mechanic fixed the rear bumper, and he told me that one of my bridgestone tires insigna 195/65 is a defective product (actually the tire shows tire tread separation), there are still a lot of tread left on all of 4 tires, 'cause I just drive occasionally. One of 4 tires found out.
