| Groove appeared on part of inner edge of tires exposing belt. it only had the groove on about 1/3 of the tire , not all the way around like a wear or alignment problem. the tires have lots of tread except in this little groove. after the air was let out for replacement a finger probe of the area felt very soft like you could put your finger through it. (18,000 miles on a well maintained 2007 srt8 chrysler 300 with pressure warning system.) *tr | |||

| I purchase a chrysler 300c in april 2007, new from a local dealership. continental self sealing tires came with vehicle. a 1nail, head diameter 2/16, punctured tire. took vehicle to tire repair shop and was advised that after removal of nail , tire did not hold pressure, was advised to notify dealer for credit on tire. dealer advised me since tire did not hold pressure, there was no warranty or credit on remaining tread, i was advised to purchase a new tire. tires have 18,000 miles on them. also was advised that the self sealing tire is not being manufactured any more, and are difficult to find. i am a very unhappy customer at this point and do not look forward to purchasing a new tire. obviously your self-sealing tires work minimally at best. might that be the reason they are being removed, and no longer available. i was advised it may take up to 3 wks to find a like tire. is there a refund or credit on my tire? yes, i read the warranty. please advise. thank you, w. pohler *tr | |||

| Conti seal tire doesn't seal its self. a staple lodged in tire, tire losing air, took tire in found staple and remove it. told me it was a self sealing tire and they were unable to do any thing, tire should seal on its own. tire does not seal air loss daily, have to refill daily. tire has less than 7000 miles, and is on a brand new car. i am concerned for my safety now that i know these tires are defective, and do not perform as advertised. *tr | |||
