| Description of the problem | I took my car in to the dealer for routine oil change and tire rotation. The service advisor came out and asked me if i had a recent blowout. I said no. She said when the tech rotated the tire he noticed a bulge in the sidewall of the rear passenger tire. They advised it was dangerous to drive it that way, so they put the spare on. One other tire was showing cable. Both tires are at 5/32. I bought this car used, in june 2015. Car fax showed no reports of any issues, however, there was noticeable body work and repaint (poorly done and i have pictures). The previous owner had a blowout in the less than 12 months they had the vehicle. They never reported it, but the dealer mentioned it. I have 19" tires on my santa fe sport 2. 0t. Is it possible the recall on the 17" tires should have included the 19" tires as well? These are still the original tires. I haven't owned the car a year yet. I travel 140+ miles a day to and from work. My safety is very important. |
