Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The rubber striped off two tires on the drivers side causing extensive body damage to my vehicle. the dealership refuses to hold any responsibilty for the repairs. i have filed a claim with my insurance company to repair my car. i have notified continental general tire co. thru their website two days ago and have had no response from them. i had the vehicle less than thirty days when the tires stiped the rubber. i was traveling back to my home in ar from a family furneral in ga. the first tire on the front drivers side went about 50 miles out of macon, ga. we were able to drive very slowly to a repair shop and have the spare tire put on the car. about an hour to an hour and a half later the rear drive side tire did the same thing. we were fortunate enough to be at an exit rap at talladaga, ga. i was forced at this time to purchase a tire, which does not fit my vehicle because that is all they had at this location. we then drove to annastin, al to a sears store and purchase another tire that was the correct size inorder to make our trip back home to ar. these tires lost the tread as if they were recaps, very much like the tire problems reported with firestone tires. i have not gone to a local dealer for general tires since i was able to find their website to report this problem, but as i stated i have not gotten a reply from them in two days. i purchased this car with these tires on it, the dealership advised us to go to ar tire co. as they were the ones who supplied the tires that are on my car. i have not done so because i thought i would get a reply from general tires by now. *ak( dot number: tire size: p235/70r15 )
