problem #2

Valve stems have been pulled from tire by shifting hub caps. This has happened after tires were recently replaced. Once while the car was stopped and once while backing out of a driveway.

problem #1

Oct 012004

Sonata 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 34,000 miles
I replaced my tires with the correct type called for my car, 205/65R15 H94 bf goodrich traction T/a and now I keep getting flat tires from the factory installed hud caps shifting on my weehls and pressing on the valve stem. So far the car was not moving when this happened, but I am affraid of what will happen when I am at highway speed and it happenes. The dealer says that it is a problem with the tires, but how so if they are the correct tires for my car. The dealer will jnot do anything about this problem at all!
