Continental ecoplus 195/65 R15 radial tires were 2 yrs old with approx. 25,000 miles on them. My mechanic noticed two tires had bubbles in sidewalls (driver side front & rear) and were on the verge of blowouts. Fortunately I was able to replace all 4 tires without further damage or crash. Now with 4 new tires (same model) that are 2 weeks old, yesterday I discovered that one tire had 12.5 psi (front passenger side) while other 3 were at 30 psi. Faulty again?
