Consumer Description

I HAVE A BRAND NEW HYUNDAI ELANTRA GT WITH 17" WHEELS. IT HAS ABOUT 3200 MILES ON IT. I KNOW THAT I RECENTLY HIT A POTHOLE ON THE HIGHWAY, BUT NOTHING THAT I THOUGHT WAS VERY SERIOUS. I DISCOVERED A BUBBLE ON MY LEFT FRONT TIRE SHORTLY THEREAFTER AND ORDERED A BRAND NEW NEXEN 215/45R17, WHICH IS THE BRAND THE CAR CAME WITH. WHEN THE SHOP INSTALLED THE TIRE, THEY DISCOVERED THAT MY OTHER FRONT TIRE ALSO HAD A SMALLER BUBBLE ON IT. I AM NOW GETTING THAT REPLACED AS WELL. THERE ARE DISCUSSION FORUMS ONLINE DETAILING CASE AFTER CASE OF ELANTRAS WITH 17" WHEELS HAVING BUBBLES, BLOW-OUTS ON THE HIGHWAYS ETC. HERE'S ONE FOR EXAMPLE: HTTP://WWW.CARS.COM/HYUNDAI/ELANTRA-GT/2013/CONSUMER-REVIEWS GUESS A FEW PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO DIE BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE BUT HOPING THAT ISN'T TRUE. *TR
