New Tires

[sudipsarkar]

Hi,
I went to the dealers to get a flat tire fixed and was surprised to get four new Michelin tires as part of a recall from Hyundai. Was not expecting that. The new tires seem a bit quieter than the earlier Hankook tires. Have not felt any odd vibrations from the new tires till now. Would keep everyone updated.

You might check some of the other threads here that have been going on about the tire recall for several months now.

Were you experiencing any vibration with the original tires?

No the old tires were just fine. I went to dealers because I had flat tire with the nail getting lodged at the tire side.

same thing just happened to me. nail where it can't be fixed and they say they cannot replace the hankooks with another hankook. they physically can't get them, more like Hyundai wont let them.

I wanted to keep rolling on my hankooks a bit longer, but oh well. I haven't had the chance to experience the new tires, but I do like the huge rim protector on them compared to the hankooks.

They scratched up the rear rims when mounting the new tires and I'm waiting on new rims to come in from Hyundai.

I did have some fun with the old hankooks and i'll post that in another thread.
