Description of the problem | Have had several issues with tire wear on the 17 inch tire provided with the 2011 elantra limited. Every other tire set i have purchased for other vehicles would last 40-50k miles or more, but with this car, i was only getting ~25k miles per set. I was on my third set of tires(not discount tires, three different brands as well) with only ~78k miles when the rear passenger tire had a sidewall blowout. I was fortunate to have purchased a spare (the dealer lied and told me it had a spare when i purchased the car). However, i was traveling out of town with family and this caused several hours of delay as i had to find another tire place to purchase a new tire for the long trip. I was also fortunate that the blowout occurred while getting onto the highway, so my vehicle speed was not high and i was able to pull off the road. |
