CRACK on sidewall of the tires - check your tire!!!

[heesub]

Hello folks,

Many cases on tire crack have been reported by the large number of Genesis owners in Korea. It occurs on the sidewall of the Continental tires and looks like a knife scar. See the pictures I've attached. According to a posting on a local community forum in Korea, Hyundai explained that it is scar from a knife blade while opening the package, and not a defect of the tire itself [1].

Go to garage and check yours in hurry.

I believe Conti tires in USA are made in Germany not Portugal... at lest the ones I had in my Azera. I had the DWS series tires and worked great on the Azera

Amen - but this looks like a non-problem for U.S./Canada owners

I talked with the dealer and said I wanted Michelins. They said the car did not qualify for it, but they ordered those now I have Michelins. Nothing like those tires, rides so nice. Push the dealer there is a recall....
