I am writing to report the high failure rate of the sidewalls of continental extremecontact dws all-season tire - 225/45r17 91w.within a year of buying four (4) new sets of these tires, three (3) of them have already failed. Noticeably, all the failures started out as a bulge in the sidewall.if these bulging went undetected they would have resulted in fatal blow out whiles driving.i have complained about these bulging to company where i purchased these tires and did not get any help since they blame it on me on hitting potholes and that all tires will do that.but that is far from the truth.i have researched this problem/issue on the internet and realized that i'm not alone.

I purchased 4 new 255/45/zr18 extremecontact dws about 13 months ago and now all 4 tires have a bulging bubble on the sidewalls. Of course i brought it back from where i purchased it from and they blame it on pot holes, road hazards. I currently cannot drive the vehicle in fear that i might have a blow out. I have purchased many tires before that were not continental and never experienced what im going through now.

The dot number, vehicle failure mileage, and vin were not available. The tire failure mileage was 12,000.
No discerning issues leading up to the tire failure, it's been multiple failures, induces by potholes or road grates you would normally encounter while driving. In 2 incidents the sidewalls of the tires failed completely ripping the tire sidewall open.one simply just flattened the tire, as of now, the shop is closed today so i don't know if it's repairable yet.
