blockisle9 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 The continental tires on my 2013 Titanium do not like pot holes! Hit a pot hole on the highway and blew a tire. I was kind of surprised the ride and handling wasn't really noticeably different riding on it flat. The low tire pressure warning came on that made me pull over to check it. The real shocker was the $235.00 price tag and I have to wait till Tuesday for them to get it. The incident canceled my Friday night trip to the casino. I guess I could of lost more than the $235.00 on the crap table....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy1626 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Sounds like Connecticut DOT owes you $235.00 plus tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ticobird Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 blockisle9, your post caused a memory of mine to resurface. I was driving I-95 South through Baltimore to the BWI airport with my sister when a monster pothole tried to show me who was boss. I have the Continental ContiPro Contact Grand Touring All-Season tire in 235/45R 19 and thought she'd be late for her connection but nothing bad happened. The pothole was actually too deep to see the bottom at 55 mph but I could see it was just wide enough for the 2 right side tires to fall into the hole. I think the event scrubbed a few mph's off my speed. Anyway to make a long story short I had the tires examined at the next oil change / tire rotation and the Ford technician said he saw nothing to indicate any damage had occurred. I told him the gory details and he took another look with the same observation. I now 18,500 miles on them and am thoroughly impressed for my first experience on Continental's. In fact I usually run Michelin's but when it comes time to replace them I think I'll stay with the Continental's. By the way, the wear so far is nominal and looks like they will easily make it to 35,000 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
