Description of the problem	I purchased a 2013 hyundai elantra gt with the stock (upgraded as part of hyundai's 'style' package) 17-inch rims and stock "nexen" brand 215/45-17 tires on march 2nd, 2015. Only an hour later, the front driver's side tire had a bubble on it from hitting a very small and shallow pothole at a low rate of speed. The following morning, at the same rate of speed the front passenger side tire had a blowout, also after hitting a small, very shallow pothole. The rear tires have no damage as of yet. In only 2 days i will have to have replaced 2 tires. I looked this up online and found that it is a very common occurrence, reported by dozens of people, especially with these size rims (although others have reported it happening with the stock 16-inch rims and stock "hankook" brand tires. Hyundai denies any fault on their part and will not cover wheels/tires without an optional protection plan. I have had to order brand-new 16-inch rims and 16-inch tires of a better brand/quality at my own expense out of fear for my safety while driving this vehicle. The fact that hyundai provides these wheels/tires when buying a car is beyond me, as they must have had complaints of this nature before and it is hard to believe that they are not aware of these safety issues. I have heard it may have to do with the weight of the vehicle (as well as the heavy weight distributed to the front wheels), the extremely stiff and rigid suspension, rims that are too big for this vehicle, and low-quality stock tires. Please look into this complaint before someone gets hurt or killed due to this glaring defect. Better to stop it now before injuries, deaths, and a class-action lawsuit occur. Thank you for investigating this complaint. If you are looking to buy a hyundai, be aware of this issue and please consider the safety of you and your family first before buying.
