Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While putting air in my tires the valve stem snapped off. While looking closer at the tire I noticed that their were cracks in the side walls of both front tires. Cracks that were up to 4 inches long and ran as deep as the re-enforcing layer. The tires are kumho solus size 215/55r17. My car is a Hyundai Sonata, 2009, with 21,995 miles on it. I bought it new. Now the tire dealer can't get kumho to call them back. I take care of my car and tires and this should not be happening at 21 thousand miles.”
