Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I installed four kumho 795 tires (p185/65r14) on 10/03/2006 on my 2002 Chevrolet prism lsi. In november 2008, without any warning, one tire (front passenger side) ruptured on the inside side wall. I was lucky not driving on the highway. The car almost lost control. I went to the dealer (executive wholesale tire, rockville, md) and the dealer insisted I must have hit a pothole. This tire was replaced with a kumho kr-21 free, since kumho offered the road hazard warranty on the 795 tires. After this tire was installed, the tires were rotated. …”
