 2009 hyundai sonata and oem hankook tires - optimo h426 one of the oem hankook tires has a buldge on the side wall. have reached out to the vehicle manufacturer hyundai, oem tire manufacturer hankook and its authorized representative sears to get it addressed as part of the oem warranty, but unfortunately have been denied. the tread on the tire (per sears technicians is less than 2/32) even though the car is 3 years old with only 24500 miles despite the mileage warranty on the hankook website to be listed as 60000 miles on these brand of tires. not sure if any other consumers have faced similar issues around buldging of side walls, wear and tear of tread, etc for similar hankook tires. *tr

 While putting air in my tires the valve stem snapped off. while looking closer at the tire i noticed that their were cracks in the side walls of both front tires. cracks that were up to 4 inches long and ran as deep as the re-enforcing layer. the tires are kumho solus size 215/55r17. my car is a hyundai sonata, 2009, with 21,995 miles on it. i bought it new. now the tire dealer can't get kumho to call them back. i take care of my car and tires and this should not be happening at 21 thousand miles.
