I purchased a new set of continental tires from colony tire located in raleigh nc in late 2012 early 2014. I drive a f-350 sd. In august 2013 I was traveling with my son on nc I 40 e bound around 400 ml marker when 1 of the tires blew out. I didn't think much of it, 1st blow out on that truck in 8 yrs. The 2 continental tire blew out december 12th 2013 on I 40 e bound also near 411 mile marker. At that time I was thinking what are the odds but again things happen. The third tire blew out while traveling to greenville sc. That was in february 20, 2014. I didn't know what to think. That was the third tire that blew in that same set. I have the last 2. I went to turnkey tire service to inquire about the continental tires. It was at that time that he showed me how to read the dot number on the tire. We learned at that time that the tire were manufactured in april 2005 and was sold in 2013. I contact continental tire and offered them the opportunity to come examined the tires that I had left and they declined. They did want me to send them the remaining 2 tires that I had but I didn't think I should get rid of the only two tires that link me and these tires to continental tire. Can you please let me know what I can or should do at this point. When I went into colony tire, they had to order those tires. I do not know where they ordered them from but it took a few days to get in.

I am the original owner of this 2006 ford f350 purchased dec. 2005. November 2010 I had a 20" oem ford wheel crack. Crack was 5" long running parallel with the outside rim edge, 1" in, and between the spokes. Replaced with a used oem wheel. May 2012 I had another wheel crack which resulted in a blowout at 60mph. This crack ran 90 degrees from the rim edge to 1.25" under the bead resulting in air loss. Replaced with a used oem wheel and new oem 20" tire. Aug.1 2012 a third wheel cracked exactly like the first resulting in rapid air loss and blowout on highway traveling 60mph. Crack is 6" long running parallel with the rim edge,1" in, and goes between the spokes. Three of the original four ford oem 20" aluminum wheels have cracked on this vehicle. There have been no known stresses I am aware of that caused these failures. I feel ford speced a wheel that is underrated for the vehicle and it is a safety issue.

2 tires with in 7 months got bubbles in the side walls. I noticed the bubbles in the side walls and returned to goodyear with the problem. They told me that if the bubble would pop that the tire would not go flat , but the tire pop while I was there and the tire went flat. These tires are "e" ratrd and are on heavy duty trucks pulling heavy equipment and with a blowout at highway speeds some one could get killed. !st time date was 8/16/07. The tires were bought new on 7/17/07.tire size not listed on next page lt275/70r18 silent armor. Wranglers.
