There were no warnings about the tire. Only a letter in the mail from continental months later after the tires were replaced was it made aware the…

Tire Size 255/35R19. My 2 front tires suffered from belt separation and I replaced the tires on 6/18/24 (new car milage 15238) at Tire Choice Auto Service Center.
