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. *tr

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…

Amazing enough, they don't have the tires in stock- i'm guessing cause…
