Description of the problem | I have a 2019 tesla model 3 with premium wheel upgrade and the continental pro contact rx tires put on by tesla are clearly defective. The car has 7k some miles on it and the tire blew out randomly. There was no impact/crash of any kind, we were going approx 30 miles per hour on a paved road and heard a large boom. Then almost instantly our tpms indicated extremely low tire pressure pull over now. We had a blow out with these basically brand new tires, no other damage to car so that's it. Could kill someone in the wrong circumstance! |
