| Description of the problem | Kumho tire e4 0225645-s i bought a kia sportage 06. I have 15400 mi. On my odometer. I put air in them recently and the guy at the auto shop said i should avoid long drives due to the tires cracking. With the lack of mileage on the car, why is it that the tires are cracking. They aren't old. The treads are in good condition. Is there a recall on them? I don't even know if i am putting in the right model number. |
