Replying to: chrisa222 (Oct 01, 2009 8:36 am) Notice you have 18's on yours, 10649 wants to keep the stock 17's and put the 45's on that....not saying it can't be done, he'll definitely reap benefits of handling with the lower profile, but his speedometer will be affected as will his fuel economy (slightly). |

Just put 4 new tires on my 2007 Azera Ltd-at 32,000 miles-went with the Kumho Ectsa LX Platinum so we will see how they do. Old OEM tires --on two the tread was at 2/32--other two were seriously cupped on the inside of the tire---needed a four wheel alignment--was a little surprised at that since I drive conservately (most of the time) and haven;t hit any major curbs, potholes, or anything like that. My previous two Chrysler 300M's went a total of140,000 miles w/o needing an alignment. Any one else have experience with the Kumho's?

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!

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.
