#378 of 387 Thanks to Michelin. by bmb1767 Nov 13, 2009 (5:43 am)
Have had my 2009 Azera Ultimate Limited for 6 weeks and found a 2 inch screw in the side wall of my Michelin Energy tire. Non-repairable.   Went to Joe Pecheles Hyundai in Greenville, NC hoping it was under some sort of warranty. Nope. They told me a new tire would cost me $245! I don't like this dealership anyway since they refused to give me an pricing over the phone when I was helping a friend buy an Elantra in August and then on my purchase (initially for a Genesis) in September. Idiots! I told the service manager I would have to price the tire around town first.   I went down to the tire place I normally use for oil changes and they gave me a price of $193. I agreed to that and they ordered the tire.   I called Michelin to express my irritation that a brand new $200 tire doesn't come with any type of road hazard protection. The representative was very nice and told me Michelin would help me. They first wanted me to go to a Michelin dealer. I explained my story and told him the tire had already been ordered and I wanted to stick with them (also for the fact that we have had 3 days of rain from Hurricane Ida and I wanted the tire fixed). He said no problem to have the store call him with my reference number.   Long story, short.....Michelin gave me an $80 credit toward the tire! I have learned over and over again - it never hurts to ask!

Replying to: stcroixboy (Nov 01, 2009 12:07 pm) I think the Michelin Man has his cronies slip into my garage at night and add a layer of rubber to my tires, 41k+ and it still looks like I have another 10k or better to go before I consider a new set of whatever...
#380 of 387 Tire cupping on 2006 Azera limited by mike0105 Nov 15, 2009 (7:14 am)
I've replaced three sets of tires for cupping with only 66,000 miles (2006 Azera Limited). I have owned 30 autos and never had cupping. I believe its an issue (flaw) with Hyundai. I've replaced the originals and two sets of Pirelli's and the noise is really bad (whop whop whop). The dealer blames alignment (it's been aligned twice and did not need it the second time), driving habits, or what ever is convenient. Other that the tire issue I really like the car. Any help out there, I would certainly appreciate any information.

Replying to: eastexn (Sep 29, 2009 5:43 pm) I have a 2006 Azera Limited and I agree with your tire dealer friend. Since I have owned many, 30 or more autos, and never had a tire problem, I believe the issue is with Hyundai. The problem is that the noise will begin to appear quickly (whop whop whop) even though you rotate and have good tread left. I am ready to put my 4th set on with only 66k miles. Love the care otherwise!

Replying to: mike0105 (Nov 15, 2009 7:14 am) Have you had your car aligned by Hyundai, since there is a TSB on wheel alignment that they would be aware of. Also, do you get paperwork showing you the before and after alignment specs? I have feathering on the inside of my rear tires that was caused by toe-in that has been since corrected but not until I rotated the tires and ruined the other two, so now all four hum together and they only have 23K on them and have to go. General Alitmax HP will be the replacement tires. Replies to this message: stan28 (Nov 17, 2009 10:36 am) 101649 (Nov 18, 2009 3:26 am) SilverBullet00 (Nov 18, 2009 9:16 am)

Replying to: SilverBullet00 (Nov 15, 2009 3:58 pm) I went thru the cupping and rotation problem too and runined the tires by 18k. Never had a problem like that in my 30 some cars either. Bought a set of Goodyear Assurance Comfortred and very happy with them. They are very quiet and give a comfortable ride. But I didn't know about the TSB on alignment, will have to check that out.

Replying to: stan28 (Nov 17, 2009 10:36 am) Isn't "cupping" caused mostly because of bad shocks?? Replies to this message: SilverBullet00 (Nov 18, 2009 9:16 am)

Replying to: 101649 (Nov 18, 2009 3:26 am) First, you have to determine if the tires are cupping or feathering, there is a difference, many people call feathering cupping. There so many discussions on this subject that it is hard to get a good professional answer. I suggest you google Tire Cupping and see if that helps you get the answer you are looking for.
#387 of 387 Just installed new Falkens by craigmri Dec 05, 2009 (8:14 am)
Purchased four new Falken Ziex 329 tires from Tires Easy for $330 delivered! Just had them installed this morning at Tire Kingdom for another $61. The Azera rides better than ever!!!! While these are not expected to last a long time(30,000 mile warranty), the ride, grip and quietness are superb and for under $400 total its a deal!   Craig
