Just had a good look at your thread - very helpful.
My wife had a blow out at 80 mph on M5 yesterday - offside rear with tread completely detached from the sidewall. These were conti cross contacts with 20,000 miles and still had 4mm tread. I check them regularly (side walls, treads and pressures) and there had been no problems.
The car was very stable, she was fine and big sigh of relief.

Black mark for continental, I fear.

So for new tyres - obvious choice from your thread was nokian Z SUV but none available for a week in UK. I'm driving to Scotland on Sunday so no joy. I've gone for Pirelli scorpion zero's and hope this is a good second choice.
