How and where did you make your claim? Conti-Sime at Jalan Tandang there?
My mazda 3 2months+ old also tyre bengkak..tried to make claim but they gave me a lot of bull..i end up changing myself because I dont want to ride on a bulged tyre. Have been busy so havent really make any "action" on them. They claimed i hit a pothole and caused it, but i cant rmb and did tyre balancing which proven good. My view is that even if pothole, its a small one and should not have caused this. Looks like a weak tyre to be put on the road and deserve to be taken to KPNDDK?

If got hit pothole or curb the sidewall, will have damage on the tyre sidewall.
If there is no such sign of damage, insist that you have not don't anything wrong and insist they pay you for the claim.
But claim will depends on the tyre pattern balance, and they will measure the lowest part..... sad.gif

my car use cc1 for almost 3 years and 7 month... still ok... just that the tyre has become very hard...

I remember my xp changing blown tyre twice in 1 hour gap (same side) doh.gif  later check at 3rd tyre shop, found out that the nut (not sure its name) inside the rim has become loose already and the air gettting out through that hole sweat.gif

After 3 years the rubber compound will start to harden, after 4 years might as well change the tyres as the grip is not good already. That is why, if do not travel much, don't buy tyres for durability..... smile.gif

Check ur tire pressure.. mostly new car is over inflated.. with the inner pressure and pot holes killed ur tire
*
Underinflation also kills tyres cos not enough pressure to support the extra load on impact

below 5,000km if any problem with your tire if manufactural defect you can claim thru SC but 60,000km/6years below you must claim thru the tire company yourself with minimal fees due to your tire condition for continental at least..

TS bad luck... mine change 4 times in a month previously...hahaha...

anyway, try to claim your tire through service centre. my vios changed all 4 tires (goodyear gd03) within 15k km.... normally tires did come with warranty from manufacturer... try to search your service manual.

if not change yourself a good quality 1, don't use cheap as ur life all depends on your four "rubber" when you driving... additional few hundred save your life...

my 2 cents... btw, what size of tire u using now?

Waa.. change 4 times in a month? I thougt my luck is bad enough... smile.gif

I already ask, cannot claim since its not included in the warrenty.. sigh..

BTW, my tyre size is 16

I checked ur tyre size is 195/50/r16
Odd size... hmm.gif
U can try to get 205/50/r16 size or 205/55/r16,
Try search for the price... But 16 inch tyre not much choice... I suggest u downgrade to 15 inch rims n trade in ur current rims... U may get the looks u like, cheaper tyres, wide range to choose, n more performance as rims is lighter....
My experiences... blush.gif

I don't think so it would void ur warranty... Anyway, it is up to ur choice again...
