Problems again with Vredestein

[black_bi-turbo]

Just as an fyi for you all, i had another one of my ultracs, a new one i got a few months ago to replace the last one, blow out on the sidewall . Thankfully i was parked, checking tire pressures when it did so. I posted a few months back about the problems i was having with them and the company i bought the wheels from or vredestein not wanting to cover the tires. They claimed it was a road hazard issue, which it clearly is not. Just want vent and let you all know.

Stay away from these tires!

Thanks for the info. Are you going to try to get them to warranty replace this one? Or are done with these tires altogether?

I haven't had any problems with mine. Great performance tire.

Definately done with these tires. Tried warrantying them last time, and they said it was due to underinflation and road hazard and they wouldn't cover it. That's 3 tires total i have had to replace. Two that blew out and one with a cracking sidewall.

Just ordered a set of the sumitomo's for my 17's
