2016 Ford Explorer Tires Problems

“The side wall of my hankook 255/50 r /20 ventus s1 noble 2 tire blew out. I have a 2 hole in the side wall of the tire. I was at a stop sign on a city street, and just started moving when the side wall blew out. It sounded like a large balloon explosion and the tire went flat instantly. Some hankook tires have been recalled but the local Ford dealer told me not this one. These hankook tires should be recalled.”

“All 4 original hankook tires provided on my 2016 Ford Explorer are shredding and treads are delaminating at 16,000 miles and 14 months of use. There are currently 14 other complaints about this issue under 2016 Ford Explorer complaints, but those people did not list them under the tires complaint portion of this website! Please look into this issue, as it is clearly nationwide and reminiscent of the firestone Ford Explorer issues!”
