What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 hyundai elantra equipped with hankook optimo tires, tire size 205/55r/16 h426. The contact stated that the front passenger and driver side tires exhibited bubbles on the sidewall. The vehicle was taken to a tire center where both defective tires were replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 4,000. The DOT number and VIN were unavailable.
Two! Not one but two of the oem tires have bubbles in the sidewall. That is a blow out waiting to happen and god knows what damage that can do. I'm afraid to drive the car for fear that one of the tires could blow out and send me off into a ditch. To top it off, the car did not come with a spare tire (to save weight and improve gas mileage) so if it does blow out and I can safely control the car over to the side of the road, I'm screwed and stranded.
