Recent Complaints
20240403TIRES:TREAD/BELT
The component that has failed has been the tread wearing out and as well as the 'layers' of the tire literally started to peel almost the size of a quarter. I am extremely uncomfortable to drive on the highway, knowing these tires are this early on starting to fall apart. The problem was confirmed by a dealer however neither the dealer or KUMHO wants to accept responsibility. These specific tires are meant for 6 years or 70k miles and this problem started around 29k miles. There were no warning lamps/ they have not been inspected by anyone as they claim it is not their problem, however last time I checked that is what warranties are meant for. I am displeased by the tires and will not pay for new ones knowing that these are prematurely falling apart.
