The Premium Contact 7 split open in a month, how can I get Continental to replace it?

If a Continental PremiumContact 7 splits open after just one month of use, the most effective approach is to claim it as a manufacturing defect and request an immediate replacement.

Here are practical steps:

• Visual evidence: take photos and video of the damaged tire clearly showing the model, size, and DOT code (production date).

• Invoice and mileage: keep the purchase receipt and note the kilometers driven up to when the issue appeared. This is key to proving normal use.

• Shop or dealer: go to the same point of sale where you bought the tire and demand that they open a warranty case. Ask for written proof of your claim.

• Technical report: request that a brand expert verify whether the issue qualifies as a manufacturing defect. If confirmed, you’re entitled to a free replacement.

👉 Post your case on Xolvie, where your claim will be recorded and supported until you get the defective tire replaced.
