3 Tire Blowout problem of the 2007 Hyundai Sonata

Failure Date: 04/15/2011

On April 15, 2011 I took my car in to the dealership for its? annual inspection. I was told that I needed 2 new tires in order to pass the inspection and that the remaining two weren?t in great shape. I decided to go ahead and purchase 4 new tires and was immediately quoted a price. I assumed the tires would be the same as what was on the car, michelins. I didn?t ask and they didn?t say. My mistake. I rode out with 4 mastercraft avenger touring 215/60/16v tires. I didn't make a not of the dot number but the manufacture date I was 2610. On June 1, 2011 the front left tire blew out while driving on the interstate. There was a very loud pop and the tire was immediately flat. At 60 miles an hour I am grateful that I was able to safely pull over to the left shoulder. Even so, that traffic flying by while I waited for help was scary. Vdot offers roadside assistance on the highways and I am forever grateful to them for being there to change my tire. I took the tire back to the dealership and they couldn't determine what could have caused the blow out. They replaced the tire. On August 11, 2011 the front right tire blew out. By the grace of god I had taken the day off work and wasn't traveling on the interstate. I was on a city street traveling at 35 mph. Vehicle mileage was 56858 so the tires had about 4133 miles on them for the second blow out. The dealership wasn't going to help me this time and I was looking to replace all the tires. I no longer trust the tires and my life and the lives of those around me are worth far more than the price of new tires. August 13, 2011 I purchased some michelins at a wholesale club who offer warranty and maintenance. I believe there is a serious defect in the mastercraft tires that will eventually cost someone their life.

5 Tire Blowout problem of the 1999 Hyundai Sonata

Failure Date: 03/24/2003

While driving on i75 from naples, FL to ft. Lauderdale, FL, the driver side left front tire blew at 70 mph. The tread that meets the pavement separated from the sidewall. This tire is a kuhmo 195/70 r14 90h model 722 original factory tire on my 1999 Hyundai Sonata with only 25,000 miles on the tires. Before any road trip, I check tire pressure for safety purposes. My car body hit the pavement a few times before coming to a stop resulting in left front fender damage. This fender will cost around $700 to replace. I feel very unsafe with these tires and the cost to replace all 4 tires is around $300. This was a very dangerous and frightening situation, not only for me but also for the other vehicles passing me on the highway as the car was vibrating violently as the tire blew. It was all I could do to hold on to the steering wheel and keep the car in my lane as the car came to a stop. I sent an email to kuhmo via their website and have not received a reply.
