“I have a set of hankook optimo 727 tires on my family Suburban, and one of them blew out suddenly, and unexpectedly. The tire that blew out only had 14,596 miles on it. The size is p235-75-15. All four of these tires were installed in february 2016, and the vehicle was always kept in my garage. The tire that blew out showed no signs of sun ozone depletion, and again, it never sat outside in the sun. Additionally, the tire that blew out had alot of tread depth left. The vehicle was not overloaded, as I was the only person in it at the time of the blowout. …”

In 1998 after yet another tire problem I switched to michelins, and I have since sold the vehicle in 8/99. …”
