We were on a trip on September 20, 2000 on a northern California highway traveling about 58 mph when the left rear tire blew out. The car had about 1200 miles on it at that time. A tow truck arrived and the operator changed the tire and stated that the tire was unrepairable due to sidewall failure. We drove to the les schwab tire dealer in burney. Ca. they agreed the tire was unrepairable and sold us a replacement tire for $84. The tire dealer told us to go back where we bought the car to get reimbursed for the cost of the new tire. The lithia motors service department took possession of the defective tire, ordered and eventually replaced it with one of the same brand and size, and stated they would reimburse us for the cost of the les schwab tire. I asked for all the tires to be replaced since I was afraid another tire would fail. They said there were no recalls for that tire and they would not replace any other tires.

The original equipment tires offer poor performance, especially in the rain. The car was so bad in the rain that my wife refused to drive the car. The oe tires have a treadwear rating of 520. I am afraid that the rubber is so hard (which will give long life) that grip was sacrificed. I changed the tires to Continental contitouring contact CH95 which have a treadwear rating of 360. These tires are also original equipment on BMW, Mercedes, Volvo, Audi among others. The car is much improved. Wet performance is much, much better and dry performance is improved also. My wife now feels safe driving the car. I don't know if this is really a defect, but I wanted you to know. Thanks.( dot number: Tire size: P215/60R16 )
