| Description of the problem | The tires wear out on this vehicle, even after being properly aligned! I have him through 4 complete sets of tires and have 110,000 miles on the car. I have kept the air pressure as it should be and have rotated the tires every 3000 miles. All 4 sets of tires wore out the exact same way, which was inner edge tread wear. The alignments were done by hyundai twice and two separate businesses after that. All said the alignment was within factory specifications. I was also told that there are no adjustments for caster and camber on this vehicle. The problem can apparently be remedied with an aftermarket caster camber kit which is approximately $200. I contacted hyundai, after researching the internet and learning that numerous people are having this issue with other hyundai models including the elantra. Hyundai advised me that they have received other complaints regarding this same issue, but not enough for a recall. I am averaging approximately 27,000 miles per set of tires!!! My hyundai case #10494797. |
