I have experienced 4 front tire failures with the continental procontact tx tires that are oem on the 2018 genesis g80 sport. All failures have been at highway speed with 2 complete sidewall failures and 2 blowouts. In each instance I had no warning and had to carefully move to the right shoulder. I have been driving over 40 years and have only experienced one other blowout. With this vehicle/tire combination I have had 4 blowouts in 90 days. The car has 5,600 miles on it. These tires are unsafe and should be recalled.

2018 genesis g80, purchased with less than 20 miles. Within a week of driving, was told I the reason for my car driving off...I needed new rotors. The following week driving and glass from my sunroof was falling on me. I contacted napleton's hyundai in wpb. They informed me to contact roadside service.I explained that I needed a car for work. I drove my car from stuart, fl to wpb, fl on 95 in the slow lane with glass flying on me, in my car, and on 95. When I arrived I had no evidence of a sunroof. All the glass had been blown away while driving. My car has been at this dealership for over 15 days and the service department has not contacted me. I contact hyundai headquarters, was told I did not fall within the lemon law therefore, I must deal with the dealership. I do not feel safe in this car and want a new car.
