    Anyone getting heel/toe tire wear?

    Recently got new rubber (Conti Extreme Contact DW) and had the car aligned at that time. Maybe 5k since then and I am getting heel/toe wear on the outside of the tread (see attached photo grabbed from another forum). This can be normal due to tread design / soft rubber, but can also be from...

    Winner of the 'Best Ultra High Performance All Season Tire'

    For anyone interested in handling and performance and not just speed I took delivery of my car with the Dunlop’s for two days about 250 miles before they changed them to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus.

    Tire Pressure System

    As you all know the Genesis sedan has a TPS that notifys you when your tire pressure is too low. Well, I lowered my tire pressure to 31 lbs which made my car ride a lot better. However, not that the outside temp is colder (32 degrees) that has lowered the tire pressure and caused the TPS to...

    New Tire Noise

    I just purchased a set of Bridgestone Serenity tires. The problem is that there is tire noise. The car doesn't vibrate but I do hear a vibration that I can't pinpoint. Tire pressure is at 33.5 lbs. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be causing this?:(

    Hi, I have a 2010 Genesis Sedan Technology Pkg. so it has tires size of 235/50/18. I am thinking about getting winter tires and i am torn between two sizes of tires for winter. I know that thinner winter rims are recommended but with thinner rims, handling is given up. Which size would you...

    Uneven Tire Wear

    Hello all, TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) went off on Driver side REAR tire for the second time in a month. First time, I put some air in thinking it was a small puncture / leak. Second time around, I took it to the shop. They found no leak, however the inner surface was worn...

    Tire pressure telltale

    The tire pressure indicator came on this morning and I took it to the dealer and the service manager said one of the front tires was at 32 psi, which is a bit too high. The manual states "This warning lights will also illuminate if one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated."...

    After noticing that the fronts are 225/45/18 and the rears are 245/45/18, questions questions questions. Not rotating tires due to different sizes = caca. So......what size would be suggested on next set to have all 4 same size? Should I split difference & go with 235/45/18 all 4 corners? Go...

    Tire Pressure Sensor - wtf??

    I've had my 2010 Genesis 3.8 for about 4 months so far. No problems until a few days ago when the TPS light came on. Since then it comes on everytime I drive. I checked the tire pressure and they all show the same... 35psi. Why does this TPS light come on? When at the dealer, they said cold...

    Tire Wear- Very peculiar and unsafe

    I have 17,400 miles on my 2009 4.6 Genesis. Every 3K to 5K, I get the factory Dunlop tires rotated. I went in for my 4th tire rotation today and the boys at Discount brought me 3 tires that had worn down to the inner tread in the inside rim. Pics attached. They warned me that wear to this...

    Snow tire storage solution

    I bought a set of rims and had snow tires installed. Storage space in my garage is at a premium, and hauling 4 55 pound tires to and from the basement twice a year is pretty tiring for an old guy. I installed a Racor overhead storage rack in my garage - I think it looks pretty good and solves...

    Proper Tire Gauges

    I recently bot a proper tire gauge and what I discovered was a bit surprising. I just bot a Michelin Digital Tire gauge and it exposed to me the amount of error in my regular analog version. These tests are unscientific, but it's what I have experienced: Marin of error in PSI +/-: Michelin...

    Tire life?

    Almost 18k mls on the car now, the tires start humming when getting off the gas and also get a bit smeary (is that even a word?) when really hot. How many miles has everyone gotten out of the stock 18" tires? Which tires as replacement? As a 3 year lease I'd like to keep the tirecost to 1...

    More tire wear update

    I just had Discount Tires do my first rotation at 6,120 miles and asked them to measure the depth. They were all very near 8/32's which equates to 3/32's wear and an expected life of somewhere around 18,000-20,000 miles depending on how nervous I get when the wear gets down to 2/32's. I asked...
