Customer Reviews
I purchase these Continental tires not long ago as you know. Very disappointed in purchasing these tires, l find myself two to three weeks inflating the same three tires on my wife Audi because only one of the four hold there tire pressure. I have been a long time customer of discount tire.
Quality at a good value.
