While towing a travel trailer at 55 mph with 2011 F250, experienced sudden tire roughness/bouncing. Tires were original equipment with approx. 10,000 mi. Dealer found belt separation in right-rear tire. Then a month later, while traveling at 70 mph with no load, the same thing happened at approx. 12,000 mi. Dealer found belt separation in right-front tire. All 4 original tires and spare were from same lot. Cannot trust these Continental tires, so have replaced with another brand.
