I purchased kumho spt tread patterned tires for my 2004 crossfire as replacement tires. The tires failed with less than 22,000 miles. The radial tread began to show and the car began to hydroplane anytime rain occurred. I complained to the company and there was no concern on their part however i am concerned for the public at large who buy these tires. The are kumho tires 225/40r18 and 255/35r19 i have a picture of the tires.
