2018 Genesis G80 Tires & Wheels Problems

275.35r19 96w Continental Procontact TX Between 12-15k miles I had my two front tires form sidewall bubbles. The first bubble resulted in a blowout. Now at about 24k miles I'm told by the dealer the tread on my rear tires is almost gone. One rear tire, also, loses air monthly. I drive mostly locally and my longest trips are not greater than 70miles. I park in my driveway rarely where anything can hit the sidewall. For four tires to fail at this mileage indicates to me there is a serious flaw with the manufacturing.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, A YELLOW WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED THE PASSENGER'S SIDE TIRE SIDEWALL WAS BLOWN OUT. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CHECK YOUR TPMS WARNING MESSAGE ALSO ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SOON AFTER THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT CALLED ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND HAD THE TIRE REPLACED. THE TIRE WAS PART OF A REPLACEMENT SET OF TIRES WHICH WERE REPLACED BY THE GENESIS DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE ON THE TIRE WAS 20,000.

SIDEWALL FAILURE OF CONTINENTAL PROCONTACT TX TIRES. SEVERAL BUBBLES IN SIDEWALL. DEALER CLAIMS IT MUST BE FROM ROAD HAZARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 GENESIS G80 EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL PROCONTACT TX TIRES, SIZE: 245/40R19 (NA). THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH FRONT TIRES SHOWED BUBBLES ON THE SURFACE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRES WERE ORIGINAL FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TETON HYUNDAI (LOCATED AT 1350 YELLOWSTONE AVE, POCATELLO, ID 83201, (208) 417-0844) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT BOTH FRONT TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN.

HAVE HAD A TIRE BUBBLE AT LESS THAN 6K MILES. NOW HAVE A GASH IN THE INNER SIDEWALL AT 22K MILES. THE QUALITY OF THESE TIRES ARE SUB PAR. UPON REMOVAL OF THE TIRE THAT THE INNER SIDEWALL BLEW, THERE WAS UNEVEN WEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TIRE, THERE ARE NO ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS. THESE TIRES ARE A SAFETY HAZARD.

THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED JULY 2018, SINCE THEN IVE HAD 3 FLAT TIRES. THE TIRE ARE MADE BY CONTINENTAL TIRE COMPANY. THE SALESMAN AT THE DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME HE THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE CASES OF FLAT TIRES FOR THE CONTINENTAL BRAND. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER SALESMAN "THERE IS A FOAM LINING USE FOR VIBRATION DAMPENING WHICH HAS COMPROMISED THE INTEGRITY OF THE TIRE". AT $ 400 PER TIRE, HE WAS BOTH CONCERNED AND HAPPY TO SEE SALES INCREASE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ONE TIRE HAD A SIDE BULGE AND I DROVE WITHOUT NOTICING FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG,, THE OTHER 2 FLATS HAPPENED GOING OVER 1 POT HOLE.ON A SIDE STREET GOING 25 MPH. AS A RESULT I WONT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IF IM GOING SOMEWHERE WHERE I EXCEED 45 MPH DUE TO THE DANGER OF GETTING A FLAT GOING FASTER.

OEM TIRES ON MY 2018 G80 SPORT ALREADY WAS SIDEWALL BUBBLES ON THE FRONT TIRES WITH LESS THAN 10K MILES. THESE ARE DEFECTIVE TIRES THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED.

CONTINENTAL PRO CONTACT TIRES HAVE BLOWN OUT 3 TIMES. THESE ARE DANGEROUS TIRES. THE SIDEWALKS ARE WEAK. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 GENSESIS G80 EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL TIRES, TIRE LINE: CONTI PRO CONTACT TX, TIRE SIZE 245/40/ZR19 N/A, DOT NUMBER: (NOT AVAILABLE). THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE RAN OVER A POTHOLE AND THE TIRES EXPERIENCED BLOWOUTS. THE TIRE WERE NOT THE VEHICLE ORIGINAL TIRES. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE ON THE TIRES WAS 6,000.

CONTINENTAL TIRES ARE CHEAP AND PRONE TO BLOWOUTS AND SIDEWALL BUBBLES. I GOT ONE BUBBLE AND DEALER SAID IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES.

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD TWO TIRE SIDEWALL FAILURES (RIGHT FRONT AND REAR) RESULTING IN LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE AND THE NEED TO REPLACE BOTH TIRES (CONTINENTAL PROCONTACT TX). ONE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE OTHER WAS DETECTED WHILE PARKED. THERE WAS NO OTHER DAMAGE OR INJURY. THERE WAS LESS THAN 6000 MILES ON THE TIRES.

MY CAR WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT WHEN I DISCOVERED THE RIGHT FRONT CONTINENTAL PROCONTACT TX OEM TIRE HAD A 21/2" GASH IN THE SIDEWALL. I THOUGHT THIS STRANGE, BUT I HAD THE TIRE REPLACED. WHEN I RETURNED HOME AND DID SOME RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT SIDEWALL FAILURES ARE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE TIRES. I WILL SAY THAT I HAD HIT A POTHOLE, WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR, WEEKS BEFORE MY TIRE FAILED. I HAVE HIT MANY POTHOLES OVER THE YEARS, WHILE DRIVING OTHER CARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A TIRE FAILURE. I BELIEVE THERE IS A FLAW IN THIS TIRE. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF REVIEWS ON THE INTERNET IN REGARDS TO THIS SIDEWALL ISSUE. I'VE INCLUDED SOME FROM A GENESIS OWNER'S GROUP FORUM. I'VE ALSO INCLUDED MY REPAIR RECEIPT AS EVIDENCE THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRE. EVEN THOUGH THE TIRES HAD LESS THAN 10K MILES ON THEM, I'VE DECIDED TO REPLACE ALL OF THE CONTINENTAL TIRES WITH MICHELIN TIRES DUE TO MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS BRAND OF TIRE. I DO BELIEVE AN INVESTIGATION OF THIS TIRE IS WARRANTED, DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE WEAKNESS OF THE SIDEWALL.
