I got my Vibe in 2002, it's a 2003. When I got it, it had Contintal tires on it. I had to have them replaced after 3,000 miles. Nothing left on them. Then again replaced after another 3,000 miles. So then after another 3,000 miles they yet again had nothing left on them. Finally got diffrent ones and bought them myself. Anyone had a problem with this?

Ummmm...yeah. Almost everyone on here who had Conti's at delivery could testify to similar experiences. A few have had great runs on them...but I think the majority votes against them. Search for "conti*" and you'll find tons of threads ranting about them...What brand did you get the third time around?

I've got over 40,000 km on my original contis right now (over 3 years old).

I got 44K miles out of my Continentals. If you are cosistently trashing tires in 3000 miles, then either your car has a terrible alignment problem or you drive like an angry demon

2003 bought 1/27/03 17,000 miles - tire tread holding up fine except tires are cupped and noisy.

Trust me, she drives like an angry demon! And the road 'constructon' is really bad in Appleton. Especially College Ave., Yeash!

Some where Continental must mean CRAP,18,000kms and there shot.The tires where rotated every spring (snows for the winter)no help from the retarded General

70.000Km(more than 3 years) on my Contis and still about 40% left. The tire is a piece of crap, but holds for me. Just cross my fingers until September next year, when my Vibe will go back to the dealer. Don't want to buy new tires for a few months.

Thanks I will take that as a complament!

I installed my after market wheels and tires at 28k miles. The Continentals were approaching the end of their life span, probably a couple thousand more miles left.

I have 22K on mine and they seem to be holding up fine. They are a bit noisy tho. I'll definately won't be buying Contis when it comes time to replace the current ones.
