Continental Tires

Brushed against a curb (okay, was backing in and it rubbed pretty good).
Anyway, I'm on the road to Florida from Chicago and of course nobody has the correct tire in stock and its' Sunday!
Did a number to the front-right.



Anyone had any experience dealing with these tires? Read somewhere about some sort of recall but not exactly sure on specifics.
I decided against driving on it and didn't have the tire-key lock to lower my spare down. Suppose I'll head on over to Ford in the morning and see if they can help me out.

Umm I would buy a new tire in that size any brand and get back on the road. But that tire looks to have a huge defect!!!! The rubber is not vulcanized correctly I would forward this to continental ASAP and make them replace this poor excuse for a HD tire.
