  • 26,900 miles
The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Scion Tc. The vehicle has Continental extreme Contitrac tires, size 215 45 ZR17 87W. One month ago, the front driver's side tire flattened while driving 80 mph. The contact took the tire to a tire shop and they stated that the issue was normal because they are low profile tires. After purchasing a new tire one month later, the front passenger side tire flattened due to a hole on the inside sidewall. The manufacturer stated that they would look into the issue, but could not guarantee that they would replace the tire. The dot number was unknown. The failure mileage was 26,900.
