My 2016 Malibu has had two Continental procontact tx tires fail because of the sidewall radials breaking. These tires are unsafe. My coworker has had the same issue. The dealer and company keeps blaming the roads. I have operated vehicles for 36 years and have never had a sidewall failure and now I have had 2 with the same brand and model tire.

The vehicle currently has 15,593 miles and 2 of the Continental tires have developed bubbles and have been replaced. Vehicle leased new in June, 2016. Both Continental and GM claim they do not have a problem and have disregarded my concern. The tires were replaced by the chev dealer at my expense with Goodyear tires. I still have 2 Continental tires on the vehicle and have 22 months remaining on my lease and I am very concerned. GM and Continental have a big problem they are ignoring. I have written to GM's CEO mary barra, who passed my concern to the customer service people, but not the safety folks at GM.

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Malibu. On several occasions, while driving, the rear of the vehicle independently slipped and hydroplaned. On another occasion, while driving approximately 50-60 mph and moving to the right lane, the contact lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle spun left to right until the contact was able to regain control. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to sweeney Chevrolet Buick GMC (8010 market St, youngstown, oh 44512, (877) 360-5077) where it was diagnosed that the alignment was off and all four tires needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 28,000. The VIN was not available.

Car is equipped with 19 inch aluminum alloy wheels and 245/40/19 conitpro tires. In my first 12, 000 miles I have had two blowouts and two additional sidewall bulges requiring tire replacement for safety reasons. That's ruined 4 tires in one year. My information is that because of the size of the wheel and the profile/make of the tire- that this problem has happened. What can I do to resolve this issue?
- Northport, NY, USA
Car is equipped with low profile tires and they go flat when vehicle strikes a pothole. I had to replace all four tires after just 10,000 miles(went from Continental to Bridgestone). Immediately afterwards, between 10,000 and 11,000 miles, I went through 4 more tires due to this type of tire striking a pothole. I have been driving for 50 years, had 3 flat and 1 vandalized tire and now gone through 8 tires in 6 months!
