2007 Kia Rondo Tires & Wheels Problems

MY ROAD HUGGER GT ECO TIRES HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE AFTER ONLY 15,000 MILES AND HAVE A 60,000 MILE WARRANTY. I WROTE DISCOUNT TIRE ABOUT THE DEFECT ON APRIL 6, 2015 VIA FEDEX OVERNIGHT MAIL BUT HAVE HEARD NOTHING AS OF TODAY. I HAVE HAD MY CAR INSPECTED BY MY LOCAL KIA DEALER AND IT HAS NO STRUCTURAL OR ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 KIA RONDO. THE VEHICLE HAS THE ORIGINAL KUMHO SOLOS TIRES SIZE P195/55/R15. THE CONTACT STATED THE TREADING ON ALL FOUR TIRES WAS SEPARATING AND CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE EXCESSIVELY WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE TIRES WERE ROTATED AT 12,800 MILES AND THE CONTACT WAS NOT ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NAY FAILURE WITHIN THE TIRES. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CURRENT TIRES WERE BAD AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR WARRANTIES ON THE TIRES. THE MANUFACTURE WAS CONTACTED AND THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A RESPONSE FORM THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,855. UPDATED 11/16/10. *LJ

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 KIA RONDO ON NOV.13,2006. BEFORE THE CAR HAD 20,000 MILES ON IT, I HAD TO REPLACE 2 KUMHO TIRES(ORIGINAL ON CAR) BECAUSE METAL WIRES WERE SHOWING THROUGH. I CONTACTED KUMHO ABOUT THEIR WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO THE WAY I DROVE AND IT WAS NOT COVERED. THEY DID NOT SEE THE TIRES AND YET MADE THIS DECISION! NOW I JUST HAD 2 MORE TIRES PUT ON THE CAR 2 DAYS AGO. THE TIRE I INTENDED TO REPLACE HAD METAL WIRES SHOWING THROUGH. WHEN MY HUSBAND BROUGHT THE TWO KUMHO TIRES HOME THAT THE DEALER TOOK OFF-WE NOTICED THE TIRE THAT SHOWED NO VISIBLE WEAR ON THE OUTSIDE HAD A LARGE PILE OF RUBBER FRAGMENTS INSIDE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION WE NOTICED THAT THE TIRE WAS WORN ON THE INSIDE AND THAT METAL WIRES WERE SHOWING THROUGH. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER TOMORROW MORNING BUT EXPECT A RUN AROUND LIKE LAST TIME. ACCORDING TO THE TIRE DEALER WHO CHANGED OUT MY TIRES-KUMHO TIRES ARE CHEAP, CRAPPY TIRES. *TR

DEFECTIVE ALUMINUM FACTORY WHEELS - 2007 KIA RONDO EX. I WAS DRIVING ON A FOUR-LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY (U. S. HIGHWAY 11, SOUTHBOUND, 2 MILES NORTH OF KINSTON, NORTH CAROLINA). SPEED WAS APPROX. 55 MPH. I MOVED TO THE PASSING LANE TO OVERTAKE A TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK. I IMMEDIATELY CAME UPON SOME ROAD DEBRIS IN THE PASSING LANE AND THE TIRES ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR DROVE OVER SOME OF IT . NONE OF IT APPEARED LARGER THAN 2X4 LUMBER. THE DEBRIS, PROBABLY ITEMS THAT FELL OFF OF A CONTRACTOR'S TRUCK, BENT BOTH WHEEL RIMS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE LETTING THE AIR OUT OF THE TIRES. I TEMPORARILY LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. I GRABBED ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL TO STAY ON THE ROAD. I STEERED THE CAR TOWARD THE RIGHT LANE, AND COASTED UNTIL THE SPEED CAME DOWN BELOW 25 MPH. HAD I HIT THE BRAKES I BELIEVE THE CAR MIGHT HAVE ROLLED OVER. I PULLED OVER AND PARKED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALLED FOR HELP. *TR
