2018 Ford Explorer Tires Problems

“2018 Ford Explorer. Hankook ventus s1 noble 2 tires. Size 255/50 r20 105h no crash. Mileage !2,066 miles. Tires are cracking and separating with chunks flying off as I drive. Ford offered me $500 towards replacing the 4 tires for the same brand. They would not replace it with a different brand that I feel safe with. I will be running into the same issues. These tires need to be recalled!”

“Hankook ventus s1 noble 2 (255/50r20 105h) tires have excessive treadwear (less than 2/32 minimum) and cuts in tread. Hankook tires have 28k miles, are original to 2018 Explorer purchased new. Vehicle and tires are serviced and maintained via premium maintenance plan. Vehicle is aligned. Low tread and cuts are preventing dealers/others from fixing flat caused by nail puncture. At least 2 tires have excessive wear and cuts.”

“i notice that my car is sliding in somewhat wet terrain situations. I did notice it last year but didn't think at 24k miles my tire treads were bad. I had my car serviced and they are telling me at 32K miles I need new tires and they are bad. These tires are warranted for 50K miles. There are rubber tears at the tread and well as complete baldness. Terrible! Had I been driving much this winter there would no doubt be a incident. These are a issue on all 4 tires. I see there are many complaints with these Hankook Ventus Noble tires. Something needs to be done or recalled. We are the consumer. …”
