Sonata

  • 27,004 miles
Our 2014 Hyundai Sonata gls 4-door sedan came equipped with kumho solus kh 25 tires, size 205/65R16. The car has approximately 27,000 miles. When removing a flat tire, I noticed that small chunks of rubber were coming off of the tire. I then checked the other three tires & found the same problem. Some of those rubber chunks coming off were along the edges & some were in the central part of the tires. I called the manufacturer & was referred to an authorized dealer, kauffman tires in this care. They claimed that this is not a warranty issue so they stated that nothing could be done except to sell me new tires & other car services. It seems to me that this is abnormal for tires to be failing after only approximately 27,000 miles. Since I'm concerned about safety, I will be replacing all four tires but not with kumho tires. I certainly never buy that brand of tire &, will check to see what brand of tires are on any car that I will buy in the future to be sure that they aren't kumho tires

Sonata 4-cyl

  • 30,000 miles
4 kumho tires, original tires with less than 30,000 miles & 2 years age are chipping away on the tread. Contacted Hyundai & kumho & they were denying any defects. These tires seem defective & tread separation at highway speed is possible making them very unsafe. These tires were used on city streets & state highways only.

Sonata 4-cyl

My key complaint is that these tires have no grip on the road when wet. They can't hold traction during heavy braking - throwing the car into a skid. Around a corner they easily skid. Should someone brake hard at highway speeds, catastrophe is only a moment away as these tires do not grip the road. Also, these tires notorious reputation for the hydroplaning risk and sidewall bubbling - which could also result in a catastrophic tire blow out. Fatalities or injuries are a possibility. Stop Hyundai from using garbage-quality tires on its new cars.
