So i got 2 front tires, the Conti Continental Contact ones, got about 10k miles on them and the front left one is faulty. A belt or something inside slipped and its wearing heavily on the side closer to the engine. I also get a bad thump thump thump noise.

Anyways i took it in today and the service guy told me he's never seen that and it could be caused by hitting a pot hole. Bullsh*t, its practically a new tire. He said he has to talk to the tire manufacturer to see if they warranty it. I'm going to end up going above some peoples heads to get a new tire.
