The steel belts on the side of the tire gave out and caused it to bubble out like that. I didn't even hit anything! Oh well, warranty better cover it :-P

My Continentals on my SUV split in the middle of the tread and the wires tore. The inside part of the tire bubbled up. I only saw it because I had the tires turned all the way to one side.

Wow, now i'm for sure not going with Conti's. Definitely not worth the price.
