Our 2014 hyundai sonata gls 4-door sedan came equipped with kumho solus kh 25 tires, size 205/65r16.the car has approximately 27,000 miles.when removing a flat tire, i noticed that small chunks of rubber were coming off of the tire.i then checked the other three tires & found the same problem.some of those rubber chunks coming off were along the edges & some were in the central part of the tires.i called the manufacturer & was referred to an authorized dealer, kauffman tires in this care.they claimed that this is not a warranty issue so they stated that nothing could be done except to sell me new tires & other car services.it seems to me that this is abnormal for tires to be failing after only approximately 27,000 miles. Since i'm concerned about safety, i will be replacing all four tires but not with kumho tires.i certainly never buy that brand of tire &, will check to see what brand of tires are on any car that i will buy in the future to be sure that they aren't kumho tires

These tires should be taken off the market they are a safety hazard! i am willing to send the affected tire in as evidence.
