Tire Tread/belt problem #1

After owning the tires for 35000 miles the tires started to split on all four. Shaking was notice about a week before 5/22/21 when I got up to 65 miles an hour on the interstate. Tread life was good on the tires and the tire shop helped me get new ones. I had no warning and I rotated my tires every 4000 miles or so.

Tire problem #2

The hankook tires I have are bolding way too early. They started to at 32,000 for the first 2 tires and 18,000 for the other 2. The tires are rated for 70,000 miles and I'm not getting anywhere near that. Every time it rains I hydroplane and its now unsafe for me to drive my car. I have contacted hankook and was told to go to the place of purchase. So I go to vw and they told me there is nothing they can do for all 4 but only the 2. After some arguing they tell me to drive around on my bolding tires and were them down more and they will try to get me new tires but I would still have to pay. This is unsafe for a car dealer to tell me to continue driving on the, even after they seen how worn down they were! this is also the 2nd set of tires I had for this car with the same problem. The car only has 52000 miles now.

Tire Bubble problem #3

Bought these tires and twice noticed bubbles on sidewall appear. Happens 1 month after being new. Maybe tires are defective. Had get them replaced under warranty with low mileage. Tire brand mavis tire traction control.
