Continental tyre issue on Inspira 2.0

[ken yeang]

Scary looking at the damaged tyre.

From now onwards, keep an eyes over the remaining 3 tyres condition. If can, claim for all 4 tyres (or at least a pair). Nobody change one tyre because of uneven tyre wear.

If happen to use Conti, get the CPC2 range, so far less complaints. This model is in between so you get comfort and performance that is better then CCC range.

Goh Swee Hin? I thought they are Pirelli distributor. So they trade with other brands too?

Yah! especially the CSC range, already many many complaints. Was surprise my colleague had problems with their latest CSC5 also...

Goh Swee Hin main brand will be Continental for now. Think they do sell other brands as well.

Unfortunately, I was unable to claim anything. After their foreman & sales rep inspected the tyre, there was clear indication showing the inner rubber lining / fiber was burst at one spot (please refer to the attached photo). They mentioned it could be something that hit the outer side wall when the car was at high speed which actually damaged the internal wall. Externally unable to see anything.

Well due to frequent travelling, I had to change the damaged tyre to a new piece which was priced at RM350 a pop. The rest of the ori tyres are fine according to them.

Hard to say since you have already rolled on them and the sidewall is completely damaged. Wow! RM350 for entry CC5, that is same as Mid Yokohama price...

My goodness. Should have known better on the price. Initially they wanted to charge me RM390 for 205/55/R16. I replied, "Excuse me, my tyre will be 205/60/R16". After checking, it was RM350 a pop & no further price reduction. I was desperate & went ahead to change it. For the whole ordeal from inspection till fully changed the tyre with balancing + alignment took 2 hours.

Thanks to all that commented in this thread & I do appreciate the assistance.

So for this round, case closed.

Ouch that sucks man. Hopefully everything goes well and safely for you. If you have a better chance and better moolah, might as well change all 4 tires for the peace of mind.

Stock Inspira should be Continental.

That Jap guy quite hardcore right.

Stock Inspira I though is either 16" or 18", right? His, he mentioned 17" so should be aftermarket already.

More of panic rather the hardcore.....The company had to replace one set rims and one tyre...

same thing happen to my sister alto that using CC5 tyre.. within a few months, the sidewall crack with no warning or whatever cause.. around early 2013 if i'm not mistaken..

I think Inspira is 17. Lancer GT is 18.

I think Inspira is 17. Lancer GT is 18.

But TS tyres are 16" on Inspira 2.0?

Lancer I know Low spec 16", high spec 18"
