I have had three continental contitrac as p245/75r16 tires fail due to tread separation in the last 4 years. This latest incident resulted in $2,000.00 worth of damage to my vehicle. I was mailed a recall notice sevral years ago for these tires but was told my tires were not part of the recall. The latest failure was on a tire with dot number ad70 449 447. I believe these tires are dangerous and that continental tires should do something about it. If they choose not to I would suggest you all investigate this matter thoroughly, as I have never experienced any tread separation problems with any other tires on either this vehicle or any other vehicle in my life. Three separations on the exact same tires in a matter of a few years is inexcusable. Please reply as I would be interested to know what my options are.

Tire blowout or tread separation by model year
What owners say
Tread separation occurred on the freeway for 1 tire and when we reached final destination there was excessive vibration on the other 3 tires. Sears called bridgstone and they gave us credit as they were cracking and buldging and in bad shape. When we tried to seek compensation for the damage the tire caused the vehical bridgstone refused stating that the tire had to have been struck by something which is not relevant.
