I ran into a flat-tire situation today...Sadly, just blew one of my tires on a minor curb hit.
Its still puzzling to me that i happened; how could the sidewall burst for such a minor hit. I was told it was a pinch but the tire is on barely 2000 miles ..
I am trying to call continental and acura client relations tomorrow; anyone has similar issues or any experience with tire warranty?.. Please help.

Seems like an SUV should be able to handle a curb.
Must have just hit in the right place.

The side walls of all expect off-road tires are very weak so any side impact is bad news. Same goes for buses and trucks, I've personally seen a truck squeeze a tight curb and blow a tire, it was pretty jarring and loud.
