Re: Re: [Chrysler300] new aussie 300C meets 57 300C

[<fabe7445@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   Tom and all owners of a new 300C,

   Pay close attention to your Continental Tires, they're advertized as 66,000 mile tires   NOT, I have 
   rotated them and they're nearly worn out at 28,000 miles. Even with rotating one has cupped, and
   these are mostly road miles.
   If you pull up that tire on the Tire Rack site and read the testimonials you will wish you had
   another brand tire as OE.
