THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE IS ALWAYS ON EVEN WHEN I CHECK THE TIRES PRESSURE AND IT RIGHT..THE BRAKES ARE ALWAYS SQUICKING
I TRIED BACKING OUT, TURNED MY WHEELS AND WASN'T ABLE TO. HEARD A LOUD POP UNDERNEATH, THEN THE WHOLE FRONT RIGHT OF MY CAR SUNK IN. TRIED BACKING OUT, BUT THE CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE AT ALL. I PUT IT IN PARK AND WENT OUTSIDE TO SEE WHAT IT WAS. HUBCAP WAS GONE, AND THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL LOOKED LIKE IT SUNK INTO THE CAR. IT LOOKED LIKE THE WEIGHT OF THE CAR WAS SITTING ON THAT ONE WHEEL. IT SEEMS LIKE THE TIRE ROD MIGHT HAVE BROKEN. BEFORE, I WOULD HEAR A CREAKING SOUND WHEN I PRESSED ON THE BREAK, IT WAS LOUDER WHEN THE ROADS WERE WET. IT'S A 2013 KIA FORTE WITH ONLY 47K MILES ON IT.
I HAD TO REPLACE THREE OF MY TIRES ON MY 2013 KIA FORTE SX. THEY HAD SIDE WALL DAMAGE AND FORMED BUBBLES. THESE TIRES ARE THE WORST. *TR
