Description of the problem | On numerous occasions the tires blow out or get a large bulge in the sidewall. And the rims also bend. The littlest pothole or bump will cause this to happen. This is because of a poor design by hyundai . These low profile wheels and tires don't belong on this car as the suspension is way too stiff for these wheels and tires. It doesn't matter what brand of tire i put on the car the same thing still keeps happening.,blow out after blowout. This is a huge safety concern. Someone could get killed from these tires so easily blowing out. Something has to be done. Please help me with my problem. The problem is the 17 inch alloy wheel with the low-profile tire not having much cushion between the road and the rim and the really stiff suspension. |
