general problems of the 2021 Tesla Model Y

 a little background information, on Dec 2023 I installed 4 new hankook ion evo as (255/45r19) for my Tesla Model Y at the correa tire shop in dorado puerto rico and the manufacture date on those tires was 4422 and at the time the car had close to 30k miles.   on April 2025 one of the tires broke and I replaced it at the same place with the same tire model.   less than a month after the new tire was installed, while riding on the highway at close to 65mph the recently replaced tire completely broke off leaving only the sides and the rest of the tire flew off the car (see pictures attached).   this happened suddenly with no previous indication or car notification of any issue with the tire.   fortunately, I was able to stop the car without losing control and apparently the tire did not hit other oncoming cars.   this was a very scary situation, which could have resulted on a serous and even fatal accident.   when I checked the new tire, or what remained of it, I noticed it had the same manufacturing date (4422) as the tires I had replaced in 2023. The next day I went to the tire shop and explained the incident and they informed I had to buy a new tire while they investigated the situation and if there was any issue with the tire. At that time I also opened a complaint with hankook us. After waiting various weeks for a response, and expecting reimbursement for the damage tire, I have not received any information from the tire shop and hankook said they did not receive a claim from the tire shop.

Car started violently shaking at 70mph on the highway, almost lost control of the car and hitting the divider, took it to the tire shop they said could be a balance issue looked harder to realer the foam from inside the tire fell apart 255/40r/20.

The contact owns a 2021 Tesla Model Y equipped with continental pro contact RX tires, tire size 5255/4r/19xl(n/a). While driving at approximately 60 mph, the contact stated that the front driver side tire popped as the low air pressure warning light appeared on the instrument panel. The contact pulled the vehicle over and had the vehicle towed to an independent tire mechanic. The mechanic could not determine the cause of the tire failure and did not have the proper tire size to replace the defective tire. The tire mechanic was finally able to order the tire from another city and repaired the tire nearly a week after the initial failure. The vehicle manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle had been repaired. The tire failure mileage was approximately 2,000.
