| Description of the problem | My key complaint is that these tires have no grip on the road when wet. They can't hold traction during heavy braking - throwing the car into a skid. Around a corner they easily skid. Should someone brake hard at highway speeds, catastrophe is only a moment away as these tires do not grip the road. Also, these tires notorious reputation for the hydroplaning risk and sidewall bubbling - which could also result in a catastrophic tire blow out. Fatalities or injuries are a possibility. Stop hyundai from using garbage-quality tires on its new cars. One possible reference source: http://www. Tirerack. Com/survey/surveycomments.
