With 14,000 miles on kumo tires, the left front tire blew apart complete around the rim on the inside. A 2 inch piece was left on the rim and the remainder was completely cut through. The tire vendor says there is nothing they CA do, the dealer says that it up to the tire vendor. These are original equipment with little usage.
These are standard tires for the Hyundai Tiburon. One of the tires appears to be defective and loses pressure. The dealership says they can find no leak and added nitrogen to the tires. But still one tire loses more pressure than the others. The dealer will not replace, and doesn't seem to think this should be a problem. I have taken the vehicle in four times for this problem. I called the Hyundai customer service number. They say the tire manufacturer is responsible - even though the tires were on the car I purchased new from Hyundai. I purchased a road hazard policy and an extended warranty. Neither of these covers defective tires. I am afraid to drive with these tires.
