“2014 Passat with continetal contipro tires. My rear tire sidewall blew on highway. With 60k miles. I tracked my path did not find any debris that could have cause the blow out. Ive seen many conplaints about this tire for same thing. They should be checked we dont want firestone part 2”

“Roughly 2 weeks ago, our Passat starting having increased noise at higher speeds, typically highway speeds.
