My Hyundai Elantra gt came with hankook optimo h426 215r45 17 tires. These original tires had less than 29,000 miles on them at the time the defect was noticed. The front driver side tire had developed a serious defect/bulge in the sidewall and had to be replaced immediately as the tire could fail and cause vehicle loss of control and potentially an accident that could cause injury.
Hankook tire h426 p215/45r17 87h passenger side front tire sidewall bulge 9,983 miles on tire, no apparent road hazard, no credit from hankook cost $180 for new tire, mounting, online search revealed high incidence of this tire and sidewall bulge, asked hankook for quality assurance tracking, told no due to their opinion tire failure not a defect but due to road hazard, too many incidents of this exact tire failure warrants a study of tire safety standards.
