    I purchased a new Hyundai Accent with Kumho Solus tires on it in September 2010. I have already had to have my tires rotated due to tread separation. I think that these tires will be next on the recall list.

    I purchased my Hyundai Accent with in 2007. My car now has 27,000 miles on it and I have had to replace the Kumho Solus tires three times already due to excessive tread wear. Kumho, the tire manufacturer blames it on the model of the car and Hyundai is blaming it on Kumho. If anyone else has had problems with 205/45VR-16 83V BSW KH16 Kumho Solus tires I think they should be recalled.

    I have a 2006 BMW x3. This morning 3/20/2012 I was in the garage to fix a small nail hole in one tire. I noticed major separation on the inside of the front tire (the unaffect nail tire). The was a12 inch split along the bead of the tire. It was not a result from a cut as the tear was jagged and uneven. I was very lucky not to have geen in accident.
