Rear tires are cupping every 10,000 miles. I had front and rear alignment done and no change. Read online it is a big issue with these. Maybe faulty manufacturer struts? Sounds like tires are about to fall off the rear hubs. Very loud. And keep having to buy new tires.

I was driving from my sisters at 17 mile and garfield home when I noticed my low pressure tire warning light had come on. I stop at the marathon gas station at 14 mile between hoover and schoenner to fill the tire. That is when I noticed the tear/cut in the sidewall of the tire. Air would not fill back into the tire. I even tried to use fix a flat, and that would not work either. I just had my oil changed at the dealership a few days ago, and they had checked on their sheet that everything was normal. Needless to say I am very frustrated with this. Especially since I had heard there has been issues with hyundai and their tires having this exact problem! I am hoping to have this problem rectified...don't even no where to start! [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
