Sparky, just spotted this on your instagram... could this be the result of running such stretched tyres? Or is this a regular occurrence with Continental tyres that are less than a year old?

I blame conti too. I just threw away a set of the with under 2k miles. 3/4 wouldn't hold air and showed signs of defects. I will never buy continental tires again

Stretch? thats a 235 on a 9 inch wide wheel. So no no stretch at all.

And if you would really like to know seen as you brought all this up. I may of bought these tires less than a year ago brand new from an online store. It turns out from the date on the tires that they are 4+ years old. I already got my money back. Thank you for just jumping on the whole stretch tire thing when it wasnt even stretched. Im more happy that I didnt crash my 964 as this happened on a highway at 70mph and just blew out.

Glad you and your 964 are safe. I'm looking forward to seeing the new wheels!
