Description of the problem | My 2017 ford explorer has 19,000 miles on it and has been maintained well. It was outfitted with hankook ventus s1 nobles 255/50r20 tires when we purchased it new in dec 2017. The tread has worn down to 4/32nds and is disintegrating-you can peel little bits of rubber off of them. They are all wearing evenly so it is not an issue with lack of rotation/alignment there are movies on youtube and other reviews of people complaining about this issue. Hankook is also aware this is an issue and is doing a voluntary program where they will give you a prorated deal on new hankook tires. These tires need to be fully recalled and hankook needs to be forced to give people a prorated refund to purchase other brands of tires not new versions of their piece of crap product. We are needing to spend $1000 on new tires for this otherwise wonderful vehicle. |
