Conti Seals CAN Go Flat

[Allevon]

Yep, I have the Conti Seals and the other day I start driving and the TCPM comes on, I look around, doesnt look flat, but appraently my back right tire was slowly leaking.

I fill it up and drive, as long as I drove, no leak, I park, within 5 hours, flat.

I take it to dealer, turns out a SHARP ROCK went between the tread and embedded itself WITHIN the tire equal to the surface forcing the tread to split. Because I drove the car down the driveway a little to fill the flat, once you drive on a flat contiseal for 1 revolution, the tire is shot to sh*t. Be warned. DO NOT drive on a flat Conti, even a few feet.

So since my tires were pretty much shot and needed a new one, I bargained with the dealer to give me 4 and he discounted me some on the deal.

Got 26,000 miles on them, and that includes 200-300 trips down the track, A trip to Indiana, Baltimore and a few other places, as well as quite a few highway races.

I bought these tires again because damn they are soooo sticky!!!

Any tire will go flat, under the right conditions................
