I purchased my car used in june 2012 with only 17000 miles on it. Currently it has less than 36000 miles on it. During a recent routine oil change and tire rotation, i was told by my mechanic that i would need tires soon. Looking at the tires, i saw he was right. I did not feel that my car should need tires with such low mileage. I looked at the warranty provided by hankook on their website. The warranty site confirmed that i should not need tires until after 50,000 miles as that is what their mileage warranty covers. When i called hankook to inquire about this issue, i was told the warranty did not apply to me since they were factory tires. I asked if the same tires were covered if purchased aftermarket. I was told yes they were covered. I do not understand why hankook will not cover the warranty on their tires, especially when they should still have over 20,000 of normal wear left. I am wondering if this is a safety issue since the tires should last much longer than they have. I should also mention that my driving habits are very normal and in normal conditions.

On nov 22nd my son was driving in detroit at 11pm when the back passenger tire blew. Went to the trunk to get the spare and that's when we discovered it didn't come with a spare. Next day got it towed and paid 234$ for a new tire. On dec 21st, husband driving home late hit a small pothole and blew the front passenger tire. Got it towed and again 234$ for a new tire. On may 25th was driving my stepson home and blew the same front passenger tire. It took over 3 1/2 hours for the tow truck and since it was a holiday weekend i was without a car for two days. And this time it only cost me 211$ cuz i had a coupon. 3 tires in 6 months is not right! there's 2 other drivers at my house and they haven't had problems with driving on the roads!
The sides of the tire in question seem very prone to sidewall failure.this tire has a lip on it that extends above the wheel's rim (as opposed to the smooth, rounded surface of other tires).upon driving up on a curb while parking the car at work, a one inch flap of rubber 1/4" deep was ripped from our right rear tire.the right front tire shows two spots where a part of the tire's lip was ripped off (where it is flush with the tire) from other brushes against the curb.most alarming is the left front tire which has a 1/2" crack or incision in the tire -- and this is not even close to the rim and shows no sign of hitting a curb.it's hard to tell how deep the incision is but it is at least 1/8" deep.the new 2012 hyundai sonata equipped with these tires was purchased in nov. 2011.the vehicle currently has a little more than 5,000 miles on it.in the combined 80 years we have been driving, we have never experienced sidewall failure from driving onto a curb or just finding a crack in the tire.i do want to point out that hankook, the manufacturer, has had a recall for its hankook / dynapro as / p265/70r17s rh03 (nhtsa campaign id number: 10t021000).the cause was sidewall failure.we replaced the tire with the gash in it.we do have photos of the tires in question and can send pdfs to you if so desired.we also kept the tire with the gash in case we needed it for some reason in pursuing this (additional photos, insepction, etc.).it is hard to determine the date of when the damage was done so i've listed the date that the tire with the rip was first noticed.the tire with the incision or crack in it was noticed today (7-14-12) while getting the other tire replaced.the complete description of the tire size is 225/45r18-95v.
Purchased 4 hankook optimo h418b/wv tires two out of the 4 have developed bubbles on the sidewalls with no apparent damage to the outside of the tire.
