i would get it out of the car if the car was in my yard i was asking the question because the wife has the car out of town and has had a problem.But excuse me you bother youI get the feeling that most people around here just don't care that Hyundai provides them with a nice set of warranty pamphlets, litigation information, and two versions of the owner's manual, not to mention a complete booklet of maintenance scheduling....
...*sigh*...
Suuuuuuure... and yes, the tires are covered for manufacturing defects. If you hit a pothole or nail or something, you're SOL. Just take it to the dealer and they'll tell you if you're covered.i would get it out of the car if the car was in my yard i was asking the question because the wife has the car out of town and has had a problem.But excuse me you bother you
How about some details? It all depends why it 'blew out'.does anyone know if the rire are covered by any warranties at all have 4600 km inside side wall blew out
A very good point. While I agree he is probably buying a tire, not sure the whole story is in place quite yet. If your wife hit anything what-so-ever, its not warranty. IF (big IF) she didn't it will probably be covered. I personally have not had a tire just fail. There has always been an extenuating circumstance of running over something or hitting something.How about some details? It all depends why it 'blew out'.
the rest of the story the wife had just turned off the highway was at the end of the ramp at a stop sign turn left went 200 feet and the inside side wall blew out .the caa tire guy that came to change the tire had told her that was the second tire in 2 days on a 2011 sonota that has had a inside sidewall blow out that he has went out to.Today the dealer for kumo tire has agreed that it was covered and replaced the tireA very good point.

Nothing like a nail in the sidewall of an expensive tire three days old to really ruin a day. :whistling:

Glad they took care of you, but that is very concerning. Tires shouldn't blow out on a brand new vehicle without cause. Not sure if all the 2011 Sonatas have the same tires, which model/tires do you have?the rest of the story the wife had just turned off the highway was at the end of the ramp at a stop sign turn left went 200 feet and the inside side wall blew out .the caa tire guy that came to change the tire had told her that was the second tire in 2 days on a 2011 sonota that has had a inside sidewall blow out that he has went out to.Today the dealer for kumo tire has agreed that it was covered and replaced the tire

Good news,, They can't say no unless you ask, and sometimes the answer is YES. Glad it worked out for you.
Did anyone let you know what the retail cost of the replacement tire was?
