Description of the problem | Traveling 30 mph on road and noticed my right rear tire went flat. Tire store said it was a sidewall blowout and would have to replace it. I replaced it with same brand tire. 3 weeks later 2/16/2014 same exact thing happens to my right front tire. So being the car is new i wanted to keep the tires all the same brand. Tire store got me the same tire. The very next day that 1 day old tire sidewall blows out. These are kumho solus kh25 tires size m225/45/17. I called kuhmo usa and was told there is a recall on those exact tires with same dot numbers k2x5yal8 3411-2512. My dot numbers were k2x5yal8 with dates 4812, 0313, 0913. I was told that i didn't qualify for the recall and there was nothing they could do. I think there should be a recall on all of these kumho solus kh25 tires. They are junk! Not even lasting 1 day! I will not be buying kumho ever again. |
