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.
