What owners wrote

Purchased vehicle less than a year ago, from a dealership. New tires were put on at that time. Mileage when purchased was 29000. While driving on snow and icy roads it would wobble and get squirrelly, which I attributed it to the lightness of the vehicle. There was no reason for me to suspect the tires as I have them rotated according to manufacturer specs, and no abnormalities have been mentioned to me by the dealer. However, last week I had an accident as a result of a worn out tire blowing out on a snowy road.

Reported at 33,000 miles, February 2013 Crash

All of the hankook tires had tread separation. One was so bad that it separated all the way around the tire so that it was separated like a doughnut was on the surface. I always have the correct pressure but these tires were dangerous when they came apart. The tire repair person could not believe how bad they were. I kept the tires to show anyone about these hazards.
