Description of the problem | Brand new tires on a brand new 2015 ford escape titanium. The tires on this new car are the continental contiprocontact. The right rear tire had a flat when my wife was driving it. The flat was on the side of this tire near the rim and there was also air leaking from the edge of where the tire and rim meet. Only 1,600 miles on this car when we had this flat. Do not recall driving over anything that would have caused this. Slash/slit was on the side of the tire near the rim and then also the leak on the edge as i mentioned. I could not enter a 2015 ford escape titanium awd so i had to select a 2014 ford escape, but our car is a 2015 ford escape titanium awd. |
