Premature tire wear. Car has 11,500 miles. Tire wear as measured by the dealer is 5/32 rear and 4 /32 front. Neither dealer or tire manufacturer kumho thinks this is an issue or is willing to take any action. Both claim tire wear is not warrantied. Tires should not wear out this quickly and it seems obvious that the tires are not properly specified for this car, 2013 Hyundai Sonata.
