Though sold as "all season" m+s rated tires, the milestar ms932xp+ has dangerously poor traction on even minor snow accumulations. While driving on a flat paved state road that had 1/4 inch or less fresh snow and minimal/no treatment, in a late model awd crossover SUV with 245/45r-19 tires, the milestar tires had dangerously poor traction. Any acceleration, no matter how slow, resulted in wheelspin and lateral movement of the vehicle with traction/stability control engagement. Even minimal braking pressure resulted in full abs engagement. Braking distances were extremely long. The performance of these tires was not consistent with any other all-season m+s rated tire I've used, and was more consistent with a "summer" tire. Selling these tires as "all season m+s" is misleading and dangerous.

2007 kia Sportage. Consumer states that rear brakes failed due to rear caliper slides being corroded with brake dust. Also, the tires were severely worn. The rear calipers failed to release completely. Kia refused to honor the warranty because they stated the consumer did not have slides cleaned to assure they were not sticking.

Kumho tire e4 0225645-s I bought a kia Sportage 06. I have 15400 mi. On my odometer. I put air in them recently and the guy at the auto shop said I should avoid long drives due to the tires cracking. With the lack of mileage on the car, why is it that the tires are cracking. They aren't old. The treads are in good condition. Is there a recall on them? I don't even know if I am putting in the right model number.

Tires are wearing low- was told to replace at 22,000 miles will need to replace- warranty will not cover then for they are not worn down enough. (dot number: 5mul tiresize: p205/75r15).

4-wd not working, hubs not locking. Engine is straining as if in 4wd, indicator light is lit, leading you to believe you are safely in 4wd, but the back tires are spinning and the front tires are not turning. The dealer has checked the truck and ordered parts. . . That was 2 weeks ago, and dealer has no idea when the parts will be in. Kia has not responded to the dealer's inquiry. The wire harness that was replaced took a week because kia sent a faulty harness as a replacement and the part had to be reordered.
