Hi all, just posting here on this topic. We suffered a blow out whilst travelling on a dodgy bit of fast dual carriageway way. Luckily no one injured. The van was travelling at 70 in the slow lane. But the tyre took out the ABS sensor wiring, damaged the rim. VW assist were called. AA turned up. My wife was there with kids. AA man managed to change tyre. I was relieved the spare safe came off ok (copper grease!). The wheel apparently needed a hammer to remove despite having been serviced (major) by VW Bury 6 days prior. The tyre was a continental van contact 200 with 7mm tread and inspected by VW 6 days prior. I was surprised by the extent of the failure. Doesn’t give me confidence in these tyres. Always used Michelin before. Used to drive lots of miles and Michelin primacy never let me down. I’ll be changing to cross climates as soon as practicable I think.
