1 Tire Tread/belt problem

Failure Date: 04/13/2022

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. Protect us!.
