Purchased a set of four new hankook ventus v12 evo tires back in june 2013.i drive very little- have only 30k in my '08 vehicle.i was planning a road trip this month & of course did all that was necessary including a vehicle checkup.after driving about 2 hours on the highway (w/ a break after an hour, which includedanother vehicle checkup), the steering wheel starting shaking violently & i saw smoke coming from the side of my car through my side view mirror.pulled over to find that one of my tires was completely blown out & the side wall was torn.i was in complete shock.these were new tires- only a year old, with considerable tread on them.there was no reason for it to get blown out like this.called aaa for roadside assistance & they had to put a spare tire on.i was hundreds of miles away from home & from my destination & there were no tire shops open in the area.had to drive close to 100 miles, in the middle of the night with the emergency lights on at 50 mph to get to a 24 hr tire shop.first shop didn't have my tire size, but second one did.tire was inspected & there was no other damage or adverse objects found with the tire other than the sidewall being torn & the tire blown out. Had no choice but to pay for a new tire (they had no usedtire), since i was still hundreds of miles away from home & my destination, & i couldn't keep driving with a spare tire on.i ended up paying a hefty fee for the new tire & other charges.i initially paid a very high amount, for what i thought were quality tires from hankook, apparently i was very wrong.after this experience i will never buy hankook tires again.
