THE 2018 GENESIS G80 SPORT COMES WITH THE CONTINENTAL PRO CONTACT TX TIRES. THESE TIRES HAVE A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE SIDEWALLS. I HAD MY NEW CAR FOR LESS THAN 1000 MILES AND I ALREADY HAD TO CHANGE TWO OF THE TIRES.
THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THESE TIRES. I DEVELOPED A BUBBLE IN THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE AND DECIDED I DIDN'T WANT TO GO THROUGH MORE BUBBLES AND FLAT TIRES AS I AM 80 YEARS OLD. I BIT THE BULLET AND PURCHASED $1000.00 WORTH OF MICHELIN TIRES BEFORE THE CAR HAD 2000 MILES ON IT. I ALSO HAD TROUBLE KEEPING THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. THE ROAD NOISE FROM THIS TIRE IS ALSO UNEXCEPTIBLE FOR A LUXURY CAR. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TIRE RACK WEBSITE AND THIS TIRE SHOULD REALLY BE RECALLED.
THE CONTINENTAL TREADWEAR 400 TIRES THAT COME WITH THIS CAR ARE DANGEROUS. I HAD ONE SIDEWALL BLOWOUT AT ABOUT 35 MPH AFTER LESS THAN 6000 MILES OF DRIVING, AND HAD THE REPLACEMENT TIRE, NEW, DEVELOP BUBBLES ON THE SIDEWALL AGAIN AFTER LESS THAN 6000 MILES DRIVING, AND REPLACE THIS TIRE WITH ANOTHER BRAND. I CONTACTED CONTINENTAL TIRE CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM, BUT HAVE TO DATE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. MANY TIRE REVIEWS ALSO POINT OUT THIS PROBLEM.
