Description of the problem	I purchased my car used in june 2012 with only 17000 miles on it. Currently it has less than 36000 miles on it. During a recent routine oil change and tire rotation, i was told by my mechanic that i would need tires soon. Looking at the tires, i saw he was right. I did not feel that my car should need tires with such low mileage. I looked at the warranty provided by hankook on their website. The warranty site confirmed that i should not need tires until after 50,000 miles as that is what their mileage warranty covers. When i called hankook to inquire about this issue, i was told the warranty did not apply to me since they were factory tires. I asked if the same tires were covered if purchased aftermarket. I was told yes they were covered. I do not understand why hankook will not cover the warranty on their tires, especially when they should still have over 20,000 of normal wear left. I am wondering if this is a safety issue since the tires should last much longer than they have. I should also mention that my driving habits are very normal and in normal conditions.
