Tire problems with continentals

I have about 4k on my tires but one seems tires are bulging on the sidewalls. Anyone having problems with the continentals?

I have 3k on mine and no problems yet. I will be taking it in for a wheel alignment as it is slightly out.

RE: Tire problems with continentals

My wife had Continental tyres on her RAV4, which we just traded in for her Evoque. The tyres were original at trade in, with 34,800 miles, and still had a few thousand miles on the tread. So, no sidewall problems, but certainly the best 4x4 mileage we've ever experienced. Her Evoque also now has them.

If you are having tyre problems like this then the tyres are covered by the car's warranty, get the car into a dealership for inspection.

34k miles is good - the worst I ever had was a regular 8k miles on a Porsche 911 Carerra 4, apart from the set which were new in the morning and shot by the evening after a dozen laps of the Nurburgring.

Evoque was great, now in an RRS SVR

RE: Tire problems with continentals

Best tyres I ever had were a set of Avon Turbospeeds on a Disco1 V8 - they started to become a little unpleasant to drive on at 62,000 miles! My Defender's original issue BFG ATR's ran to 58,000+ before I changed them and then there was still enough tread for on road use that a member of the 4x4 club brought them off me to put on his Defender that never went off road!
Worst tyres, Continental Cross Contact M&S tyres fitted to my TDv6 RRS - 14000 miles and they were shot, shoulders worn thread bare on both sides despite religiously keeping the pressures correct.

I would take it back to the dealer but in the US they wont do anything except refer me to the manufacture to get a protrated exchange. Im gonna keep an eye out on it may be its out of balance thats causing it to sit weird.

The best tires that i have were Michelin Pilots for my Camaro worst were goodyear tires
