Noticed a loud noise coming from the wheel wells on the interstate, drove to the local mechanic, checked our wheels found square spots on the inner tire treads. Unsafe to drive he called in tires at the tire shop, tire shop let him know that they are using the same tire on the newer model but the word extra load is on the tire, replaced two of the tires because money is scares. Complained to kia consumer they stated it is the tire company's problem (hankook) and not kia. Called hankook tire hq in nj and they state it is kia and hyndia's problem. This is a very dangerous situation where this is a family type van and the belts are stretching and eventually they will brake possible injury and or death.
