My God, man, I believe you've established a new world's record for this tire!

Seriously, I was one of few to get 25,000 miles out of them.

I wouldn't hold my breath expecting any kind of adjustment, but a few members have pulled off some some rather unbelievable coups, so perhaps you can too.

Good luck.

I think I must now own the record, 34,540 on the crappinentals. Of course, I'm showing wear bars on all 4, and they are severely rounded on the sides. That said, I'm on my way to Goodyear for the Comfort Treads. $712.00 out the door for 4 225/60-18's including mounting, lifetime balance & rotation, disposal fees, and a 4 wheel alignment. Now I just have to find the alignment specs to take with me to the shop.

Really looking forward to the new shoes, I keep you posted with how I like them.

I am on my 2nd 300C. I traded my 2005 300C for a 2006 300C Heritage Edition. I could not believe that the new C had Conti's on it. I had to replace the Conti's after 18,000 miles on the '05 C because of tread cupping, not because the tread was wearing down. I still had plenty of tread, it was just wearing at an angle on each tread section. It got so bad, it felt like I was driving an unbalanced clothes washing machine. I made a deal with my dealer that I would pay for half of a new set of Goodyears and they would pick up the other half. Wow, the Goodyears were so much better. Better ride, better grip in bad weather, especially snow.

On this '06 I will make sure I bring the car in before the 12K mile tire warranty is up. If I see any hint of abnormal wear, I am going to ask for replacements. There is no way in hell I am going to pay for another set of tires on a car I only lease for 2 years / 40K miles. It's rediculous.

My 1st C had the plain Conti's. MY new Heritage Edition C has the self-sealing feature. Is there a wear difference between the two or are they essentially the same tire, except one has the sealing material sprayed on the inside?

KC, your problem may be a $hitty suspension, keep an eye on those new tires.

I thought it was the suspension as well, but the dealer could not find anything out of spec. I guess they need to update and tighten there specs tolerances.
