“The tread of this tire separated from the tire while driving. The tire had approximately 45,000 miles of use. The tread warranty was for 60,000 miles. The retailer would not take corrective action. I was told that continental would not do anything because the tread was worn, despite the fact that I had 15,000 miles left on the tread warranty. The retailer also informed me that they no longer carried this tire.”
