Owner report 11535348 · 2023-07-30 (July 30, 2023)
Continental Pro Contact size 245/35 R 20 sidewall blew out with 265 miles on a brand-new car. Blew out leaving a parking lot at a very slow speed. The tire did not hit anything, it just lost all air pressure, and the warning light came on. Goodyear Tire employee came to the scene and determined the sidewall leak. There is no damage or marks to the tire. We purchased a new tire at the new car dealership and Goodyear installed on the car. We have detailed pictures. If this were to happen at highway speed it would be very dangerous, and we are…

Owner report 11569779 · 2024-02-04 (February 4, 2024)
Tire size 245/35 R20 Found a large bulge in the sidewall nearing a burst. I have not hit any significant potholes or had any impacts of any sort. Luckily I found this before it blew out. There are a MASSIVE number of reported problems with this specific tire on my car (VW Arteon), with some people reporting up to 5 damaged tires within a year and many blowouts reported. When these fully blow out, they put me and the public at risk due to possible loss of control of the vehicle. I am reporting this to the dealer this week. There were no warni…

Owner report 11569878 · 2024-02-05 (February 5, 2024)
Was switching out the "summer" tires for winter tires and noticed a bubble on the sidewall of the passenger front tire. At the time the car had around 3,000 miles on it. I switched to my spare tire, did not put the bubbled tire back on the car. I had traveled who knows how many miles with that tire like that. If I would have had a blow out, which would have happened at some point it would have been dangerous for me and any vehicle around me. It would have also destroyed a $700 rim, which I would have had to pay for. I replaced all 5 tires…

Owner report 11570129 · 2024-02-05 (February 5, 2024)
I was driving on city streets at normal speed during a rainy day. I turned right from one road to another road, and as I started to accelerate out of the right turn, my driver side front tire blew out and the TPMS started screaming because it read the tire pressure as 0. I immediately pulled over and checked the tire and saw a huge gash on the side wall, close to the rim. The road I was on was not pristine or super smooth, but it did NOT have any large bumps or potholes and I wasn't going that fast to begin with. I have only had this car for …

Owner report 11574440 · 2024-02-28 (February 28, 2024)
Drove through a very small pothole at about 5mph and the sidewall gave out creating a small pin hole and leaked out all the air. This is a known issue across all the forums and Facebook groups for this tire. People are going through tires like crazy because of sidewall failures.

Owner report 11578042 · 2024-03-18 (March 18, 2024)
The sidewall of tire failed after brushing up against an uneven section of pavement at low speed (5-10mph) as I was making a right hand turn onto a busy road. The low tire pressure light almost immediately illuminated. I had purcahsed the vehicle only 10 days prior with 4,169 miles on it. The previous owner also had a tire failure around 3,000 according to the vehicle's CarFax report. Numerous other Arteon owners have reported higher than typical tire failures with this original tire 245/35R20. It seems the sidewall is exceptionally fragil…

Owner report 11579346 · 2024-03-25 (March 25, 2024)
This tire model, Continental ProContact TX 245/35 R 20 95H, is the tire that came with my brand new 2023 Arteon and appears to be the overall stock tire VW went with. I had read in media forums that the tires blow out very easily when running over a pothole and it turns out, they were correct. I have now had 3 tires blow out due to potholes in just 7 months of owning my car. All punctures occurred on the wall of the tire resulting in necessary full tire replacements costing about $320 each tire. Although 2 were the result of hitting the same p…
