Hi guys,

I have tire problem here. I've bought Ford Fiesta 1.6S 2 months ago.
The tires are Continental CPC2.

Last week, the front right tire (driver side) is punctured because I hit a pothole.
The tire punctured on the side so I've to replace it with a new tire.

Today, the rear tire (driver side) is punctured also. 1 week after the first incident.
I didn't hit a big pothole like the first one, just a small hole.

When I ask the AAM guy who change my tire with a spare one, he says that Continental tires are good quality and comfort but very week at the side.

So if I hit a pothole or go over a road divider, it has a high risk of puncture of the side of the tires.
Is it true? Is there any other tire that is suitable for Fiesta, but at the same time, it's more durable?

thanks for all the replies. i try to check the manufacture date other tyres first, then if its old stock, i will foward this to car dealer.

I check my original tires (when I got the car).
Ironically, it was manufactured this year.
(DOT Y693 N1XF 1111) => 11 week of 2011.
(DOT Y693 N1XF 1611) => 16 week of 2011.

I still don't understand, why I got flat tyre too often.
2 tyres in one week, and I was like 'WTF'?
The first time i could understand because i was a deep pothole.
But the second time, as I mention above, couldnt possibly make a tyre puncture.

Is there any other brand that u guys can recommend for ford fiesta?
