Another Flat
Just had my second flat tire. First was a puncture at 1,200 miles. This was a blowout on the left rear at 8,200 miles. I always thought Continental tires were mediocre but this is ridiculous.......and no spare. The blowout concerns me. Is there any history of this? I just ordered a set of PS2 from Tire Rack while in the tow truck. Enough of this!!!! Hopefully this will be a cure.

Sorry to hear that. Know the feeling. I suffered a left rear failure a few weeks ago and discovered the tire losing air again so dropped it off at the dealer last night to check the plug. My next car(and I'm thinking seriously of a C6 Vette) will have run flats.

I had a flat tire on my front passenger side at 5K miles. These continential tires really suck. My front driver side is "out of round" and causing my steering wheel to vibrate at 40-60mph. They must have went with Continential to save $$.
