Description of the problem | Bought equinox in march 2018 equipped with 4 hankook tires. Shortly after purchase, the hankook tires began to lose air pressure. In january of 2019, i took the car in for the annual state inspection and told the mechanic the right rear tire lost much more air pressure than the other tires. The mechanic said there was a screw in it. It was patched. The tire was rotated from back to front. The tires were still losing pressure . On october 22, 2019, while parked at my home, the right front had 5lbs and the right rear had 6lbs of pressure. I put air in the tires, the right rear took the air, but the right front would not. I had the car towed in on october 24, 2019 to the dealer, priority chevrolet in chesapeake, va and they had to put 2 goodyear tires on to replace the hankook ones because the hankook tires had been discontinued. My concern is the that the 2 remaining hankook tires might go flat while driving. |
