This vehicle is also equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (tps). Which never indicated any problems with proper inflation. Even with full tread these tires had almost zero traction in any weather conditions were…

My hyundai elantra gt came with hankook optimo h426 215r45 17 tires. These original tires had less than 29,000 miles on them at the time the defect was noticed.

Tires that came factory on the vehicle did not last as long as the tire was rated from the manufactures website. They are nearly bald, due to highway driving, and the manufacture and car company will not honor the tread life warranty. They said that there is not an owner warranty because i did not purchase the tires. This is confusing to me, only because i bought a $24,000 car! Continental was contacted by me to…

The tires that came with my elantra ((hankook h426 215/45 17) had to be replaced in less than 18 months as the side wall was bulging dangerously. My son who has a 2010 elantra with hankook tires had a blow-out while driving. I think these hankook tires are dangerously unreliable. Thank you. *tr

Purchased 2013 elantra less than a year ago with hankook tires. Driver side tire blew out on 6/15/14 at 11k miles. Thank god it happened going around a corner at slower speed than highway driving. Another tire on the rear was also blistered and ready to pop - we had to change before driving to avoid bending another rim should tire blow. Anyway, to make a long story short, neither dealer or tire manufacturer would…

This has happened four times since i purchased the car. Three out of the 4 cases…

While driving my 2013 hyundai elantra down the highway @ approx 50mph, the left rear tire failed in the center of the tread. No warning. The car is driven by my teenage daughter for school and work. She hit nothing in the road. Hasn't hit anything with the tire. Dealership says it was due to a puncture. I refuse to believe that. If you have wire(s) showing, seems to me that would be a tire failure and not a simple…
