MY 2005 MAGNUM CAME WITH CONTINENTAL TIRES WHEN PURCHASED AS NEW. THEY WERE HORRIBLY OUT OF BALANCE AND THE DEALER NOR THE TIRE MANUFACTURE WOULD HELP REPLACE THE TIRES AFTER THEY WERE COMPLETELY BALD AT 11,000 MILES. WE FILED ALL THE PAPERWORK AGAINST CONTINENTAL IN HOPES OF SOME MONETARY REPLACEMENT, BUT TO THIS DAY HAVE NOT HEARD NOR RECEIVED WORD FROM THE DEALER NOR CONTINENTAL. PURCHASED GOODYEAR ASSURANCE TRIPLE TREAD AND LOVE THEM. CONTINENTAL WILL NEVER EARN MY BUSINESS AGAIN AND THE LACK OF SUPPORT FROM THE DEALERSHIP IS DISAPPOINTING AS WELL. *TR

TIRE WEAR AND TREAD LOSS - CAUSES PREMATURE BALDING AND DANGEROUS SHAKING. SECOND SET OF CONTINENTAL. FIRST CAME WITH CAR NEW, SECOND SET AFTER CAUSING STEERING SHAKE, REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF TIRES WITH DEALER, TIE-ROD ENDS, MANY ROTATIONS AND SERVICES. IN BOTH CASES WARE ON TIRES WAS EXCESSIVE AND AROUND 18,000 TO 22,000 MILES. VERY RAPID TIRE WEAR - CAUSES VIBRATION AND DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. TIRES REQUIRED REBALANCING AND EXCESSIVE AIR LOSS. *TR UPDATED 07/29/08

PREMATURE TIRE WEAR ON MY O5 DODGE MAGNUM R/T. I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT TIRES AT 10K MILES DUE TO THEM CUPPING AND BALDING ON THE OUTSIDE EDGES. I DID THIS AND HAD THE FRONT END CHECKED OUT. THEN AT 35K MILES I HAD TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN!I THEN TOOK IT TO A FRONT END SHOP AND THEY ALIGNED IT AND SAID THE FACTORY HAS A BAD SET OF SPECS AS IT WILL WEAR OUT THE TIRES IN NO TIME!THIS IS NOT NORMAL OR RIGHT!

2005 DODGE MAGNUM. PULLED TO RIGHT WHEN FIRST PURCHASED. TIRES WERE ALIGNED AND BALANCED. WEAR ON TIRES. REPLACED TIRES AFTER 18000 MILES DUE TO A BLOWOUT ON RIGHT REAR TIRE. TIRES HAD NO TREAD ON OUTSIDE EDGE AND OVERALL TIRE. DEALER WOULD ONLY PAY FOR TWO TIRES. CAR PULLED TO RIGHT AFTER NEW TIRES INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE HAD ALL FOUR TIRES ALIGNED AND BALANCED. THE DEALER PAID FOR THE ALIGNEMENT AND BALANCE UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE PULLED HARDER TO THE RIGHT AFTER THE ALIGNMENT, CONTACTED THE BUSINESS OF WHERE THE VECHICLE WAS ALIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN AGAIN, AND HAD THE OWNER PERSONALLY CHECK THE VEHICLE BEFORE AND AFTER THE ALIGNMENT. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT COVER THIS CHARGE. THE CAR PULLED HARDER TO THE RIGHT THAN BEFORE. THE CAR HAS 23000, AND THE TIRES WORE OUT AND WILL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN SOON. *AK

IN FEB 2005 I PURCHASED AN 05 DODGE MAGNUM WITH CONTINENTAL TIRES. I NOW HAVE 26000 MILES ON MY CAR AND THE CONTINENTAL TIRES ARE WORN DOWN TO THE WEAR BAR AND MAYBE A BIT MORE. THE RIDE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ROUGH WITH QUESTIONABLE PERFORMANCE IN HIGHER SPEED TURNS AND EVASIVE MANEUVERS. ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THESE TIRES AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO KEEP THESE DANGEROUS TIRES OFF THE ROAD. IT WOULD ALSO BE NICE TO HAVE CONTINENTAL TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT TIRES (FROM ANOTHER TIRE COMPANY). *NM

2005 DODGE MAGNUM RT, CONTINENTAL TIRES STARTED SHOWING TREAD WEAR AT 6000 MILES. DEALER AT 9000 MILES MADE NOTE OF UNUSUAL TREAD WEAR AND BLAMED IT ON EXCESSIVE SPEED. AT 11,000 MILES 2 OUT OF THE 4 TIRES WERE COMPLETELY WORN THROUGH AND THE OTHER 2 ALMOST WORN THROUGH. CAR IS 1.3 YEARS OLD AND HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN 11,000 MILES. DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE TIRES AND CONTINENTAL WILL ONLY GIVE A 50% REBATE ON THE TIRES BUT WILL NOT REIMBURSE FOR MOUNTING AND ALIGNMENT. CAR ALSO PULLS TO THE RIGHT CONSISTENTLY. *JB

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM R/T WITH 13000 MILES AND THE TIRES ARE WORE DOWN TO THE WEAR BARS. ALL CONTINENTAL TIRE WANTS TO DO IS SELL ME ANOTHER TIRE THAT IS SUBSTANDARD. 13000 MILES SHOULD NOT WEAR OUT A TIRE IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND STYLE. IT MAKES ME THINK DODGE KNOWS ABOUT THE POOR TIRE THAT IS WHY THEY ARE GOING TO ANOTHER TIRE IN 07. *JB

MY 2005 DODGE MAGNUM HAS 11,000KM ON IT AND THE TIRES ARE DOWN TO THE WEAR BARS. THE DEALERSHIP DENIES ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND THE TIRE MANUFACTURER (CONTINENTAL) WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. I THINK THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE GIVEN MORE ATTENTION BY BOTH CHRYSLER AND THE TIRE MANUFACTURER. THERE ARE ALREADY 42 COMPLAINT FILES ABOUT THIS ONLINE AND IT SHOULD WARRANT A CLOSER LOOK. *NM

THE CONTINENTAL TIRES ON MY NEW, 2005 DODGE MAGNUM WERE REPLACED WITH GOODYEARS DUE TO THE FACT THAT AT 10,000 MILES THE FRONT TIRES WERE COMPLETELY BALD AND THE REAR TIRES ONLY HAD 1/8" TREAD LEFT, I ROTATED THE TIRES EVERY 3000 MILES AND NOTICED THE WEAR BARS HAD STARTED SHOWING WHEN I ROTATED THEM AT 9000 MILES. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM AND THAT I SHOULD BRING IT TO A CONTINENTAL TIRE DEALER AND COMPLAIN. CONTINENTAL WOULD ONLY PAY 35% TOWARDS THE COST OF NEW TIRES. AFTER SPENDING $32,000 ON A NEW CAR THEN ONE YEAR LATER HAVING TO DISH OUT OVER $600 FOR TIRES REALLY HURTS. MY WHOLE REASON FOR BUYING THE CAR WAS TO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT EXPENSIVE MECHANICAL REPAIRS FOR A LONG TIME. *NM

DESPITE TWO TIRE ROTATION WITHIN 18000 MILES,( FOLLOWING THE RECOMMENDED SERVICE BY CHRYSLER AND PERFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP) THE CONTINENTAL TIRES ON MY NEW, 2005 DODGE MAGNUM WERE DECLARED "TRASH" BY THE BANGOR DODGE SERVICE MANAGER, TO THE EXTENT THAT HE WOULD NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO ALIGN THE FRONT END OF MY CAR. I NEEDED TO BY FOUR NEW TIRES- GOODYEARS THIS TIME- BEFORE I COULD GET A FRONT END AND REAR END ALIGNMENT. I DID NOT GET EVEN EXPECTED WEAR FROM THESE TIRES. IT COST ME $800 WITHIN 18,000 EXTREMELY CONSERVATIVE MILES( I AM A RETIRED PERSON) BECAUSE OF A JUDGMENTAL ERROR BY CHRYSLER TO PUT SOFT AND INAPPROPRIATE TIRES ON MY CAR. I EXPECT COMPENSATION FOR LACK OF EXPECTED WEAR. *NM

THE FRONT TIRES ARE CUPPING EVERY 3,000 MILES. DEALER HAS CHECKED ALIGNMENT, ROTATED THE TIRES AND REPLACED THEM FOR FREE 4 TIMES WITH 2 DIFFERENT BRANDS OF TIRES. I NOW HAVE 30,000 MILES AND THE TIRES ARE WORN OUT AGAIN AND THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT IS JUST THE WAY IT IS AND TO STOP COMING TO THEM TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IT HAS BEEN QUITE RAINY WHERE I LIVE AND I FEEL THAT THE TIRE DAMAGE IS NOW PUTTING ME AT RISK. THE ABILITY OF THE TIRES TO PERFORM IN RAIN SOAKED ROADS HAS DIMINISHED SIGNIFICANTLY BECAUSE OF THE UNUSUAL WEARING AND I FEEL THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN ANY INCLEMENT WEATHER. I REALLY HOPE THIS ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED BEFORE THERE IS A FATALITY. SINCE THE TIRES ARE SO BADLY WORN ON THE OUTER EDGES THE VEHICLE VIBRATES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SEEMS QUITE UNSTABLE. ANY LITTLE BUMP IN THE HIGHWAY CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO JERK VIOLENTLY. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS CAUSED BY THE WORN TIRES OR AN INHERENT DESIGN FLAW IN THE FRONT END. I KNOW FROM RESEARCHING THE INTERNET THAT THERE ARE MANY OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *JB

DETAILS: I HAVE 9800 MILES ON MY 2005 DODGE MAGNUM RT WHICH CAME FROM THE FACTORY WITH CONTINENTAL TIRES. I HAVE ROTATED THE TIRES EVERY 3000 MILES. IN TALKING WITH OTHER MAGNUM OWNERS "ONLINE", THEY ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. SOME PEOPLE ARE GETTING ADJUSTMENTS FROM THEIR DEALERS, OTHERS ARE NOT. THESE TIRES SHOULD BE RECALLED . THESE TIRES DO NOT LIVE UP TO THEIR LISTED WEAR RATINGS AND THE CAR MANUFACTURE SHOULD RECALL THE CARS FOR DEFECTIVE TIRES.(CONTINENETAL TIRE). AT 10.000 MILES ALOT OF PEOPLE DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT CHECKING THERE TIRE'S.THEY COULD HAVE BALD TIRES AND NOT KNOW IT UNTIL ONE BLOWS OR THEY LOSE CONTROL ON WET PAVEMENT. *NM
