| Hyundai is equiping these elantras with solus tires which are very substandard all weather tires for traction. tires constantly slide and loose contact with road surface on wet, dry sanddy and snow covered pavement, constantly causing the abs brakes to engage, and causing the vehicle to wander across road surface. it is at it's worst in any kind of snow even at speeds of 5 mph. car almost went off roadway several times during snow while traveling between 5 & 15 mph. complained to dealer where car purchased and they could not care less! | |||
