Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Tires-- continental tires on my 1 year old ford taurus-- had a bad shimmy when driving around 50 mph. took to ford dealership. as they are 15 months old i have no warranty coverage left on tires. both front tires the belts "had slid"-i learned this is a common problem with these tires which are on thousands of taurus and windstar vans. i learned sometimes they "bulge" out the sides when the belts slide inside-- mine had not- new tires fixed the driving problem but i think it is disgusting as they only had 15,000 miles on them and i have no warranty coverage at all-they are unsafe and someone should look into it. thank you. my model # on the tire is p21560r1694t touring contact as. *jb
