2011 Hyundai Sonata tires problems

Filed Jun 4, 2024 · Tires · IL

P205 65 R16 Blizzak tires were purchased in December 2023, online and I had them installed same week. I spoke to the employee who stated as long as I rotated the tires at 5,000 miles, I can drive them all year. I went to Discount tires on Saturday to have my tires checked since I was sliding in the rain. The employee told me my front tires were at a 1 and 2, while the back tires are at 9 and 10. She told me to talk to the front desk about the tires. I went in and asked about the warranty I had purchased. The employee told me it does not apply and that I would need to replace the tires. I explained to him that the car doesn't even have 5,000 miles on it since the purchase of the tires and how did the front wear so quickly? I only started using the car more in March. He also told me it could be the alignment. I had that fixed 2 years ago and the car doesnt pull left or right. He stated that the tires will bald if being driven in over 40 degree temps. I have in the past used winter tires all year and never experienced this. These tires never made it to 5,000 miles. They should not be worn so badly in the front, that this had now cause my back breaks to grind. Not only do I have to buy 4 new tires, since I can't keep the back on there, but I have to eventually get new back brakes, that aren't even 2 years old. These tires should not be on anyone's cars if they wear this quickly.

I own a 2011 hyundai sonata limited 2.0t which came equipped with hankook optimo h431 tires, size 225/45r18v. At approximately 41000 miles (august 2014) I noticed a bulge/bubble on the sidewall of the right front tire. Upon visiting a local tire shop to determine how bad the problem was, the technician removed the tire and advised me that there were 5 separate bubbles in the tire and it was not safe to drive. I brought the car to the dealership & was told the issue was not covered under any warranty and I had to purchase a new tire for $275. Two days ago I was walking around the car and I've noticed a bubble on the sidewall of the left front tire now. I drive primarily on the highway and keep my tires properly inflated at all times. There were/are no abrasions, scuffs or cuts on the side of the tire at the sight of the bubbles. They have been located both in the inner & outer sidewalls.

Was leaving a lakefront beach on a dusty dirt road going very slow because of all the cars parked around on a one lane road leaving the beach. Had not gone more than 50 ft when all of a sudden it sounded like we ran over something that may have damaged the underneath. Stopped got out and looked behind me and 2-3 embedded rocks were in the road, not loose rocks, I do not know if any damage was caused as today is sunday and nothing is open. What is the distance from the bottom of the car to the ground? It has to be lower than all other cars as there are thousands of cars traveling over this area annually and if cars were hitting them I would assume they would have been removed? Also we had new tires installed the day before size p205r60-16. Were these proper size?

This is about the tire pressure monitoring system. When it gets about 20 degrees f or colder, the indicator states low tire pressure. Checking the tire pressure reveals all pressures are equal and normal. When the weather warms up, the indicator turns itself off.

My car comes with a TPMS system to monitor the air pressure in each tire. Intermittently the warning light indicating there is a problem with one of the tires comes on. A check with a pressure gauge of each tire always indicates a false alarm. Talking with other sonata owners I have anecdotal evidence that I'm not the only one with this problem. When bringing the car back to the dealer they say they can't fix it because there's no issue when the car is at their garage. This can be a dangerous problem for a number of reasons - 1. The false alarm is distracting, at highway speeds this can cause the operator to think they should pull over in a dangerous environment to avoid having a bigger problem. 2. After it happens a couple of times the operator might ignore a real problem. Yet the manufacturer refuses to address the problem.

Tire pressure monitoring system indicator light has come on every time we travel over 300 miles. I have taken into the dealer and they said it is common. I think it is safety concerned. How do I know if I have a low tire or not when I've check then and everything is ok.
