While driving on I-95 northbound around woolbright road, I ran over tire debris and caused part of my tire to come off. The tire did not go flat amazingly, but I will definitely need a new tire. I have a navigator, so luckily it didn't cause any more damage like an accident.

I have had multiple incidents of new tire valve failure involving tires purchased and serviced by sears auto center, regency square, richmond, virginia. The first failure occurred in february, followed by the failure of the same tire valve on the morning of april 24 th 2008. My complaints were dismissed at that time, and again were dismissed when the opposite tire valve failed that afternoon almost causing a serious accident on I 95 ( I have all documentation and aaa reports). I was forced by sears to pay for a new tire and again, they found nothing remarkable in this new valve failure. When I again complained and asked that all valves be checked, sears replaced another valve on a different tire. At present, I have one original valve on my vehicle.

A continental contitrac at size 25575r17 mounted on the left front of a 2001 lincoln navigator failed at highway speeds on a a three lane highway in ma. The sidewall and tread separated around the circumference in a catastrophic failure. With great difficulty, I kept my vehicle from hitting other cars and/or going off the road. Continental has recalled tires of this type but not my serial number. They have had previous SUV crashes resulting in deaths. I think the tires mounted on my vehicle are all potentially defective and asked continental to replace four tires and the damaged rim. They have only agreed to share 50/50 cost on one new tire. It gets worse. The tire that failed is out of production. They supposedly are working on a replacement but it is in the testing phase. In an all wheel drive SUV all tires should be the same. Since the original is discontinued, I need four new tires. I think continental should pay for all four and the damaged wheel.

The factory tires on these vehicles are going to get someone killed! I was very fortunate that none of my blow-outs were when I was traveling 75 MPH. Down interstate 10 ! I had just had my tires rotated and checked, and about 3 weeks later, I noticed a terrible vibration in my steering. I took it to the dealership, and was told it was my tire. I had them change it, and you should have seen the huge knot on that tire. Then, just about 11 months later, my steering wheel started shaking again, I took it to a tire shop here, and he took the tire off, and low and behold, here is another huge knot on this tire. We finally did what we should have done the first time this happened, we put a different brand of tire on the car. Those are the worst tires I have ever driven on bar none....
