Consumer Description

2017 FORD EXPLORER SPORT. BASICALLY THE ORIGINAL HANKOOK VENTUS TIRES THAT CAME ON THE CAR HAVE WORN INCREDIBLY FAST. 15000 CURRENTLY AND THEY ARE ALMOST BALD ON THE EDGES. DEALER CLAIMED THAT ALIGNMENT WAS FINE. TIRES ALWAYS INFLATED AND ROTATED. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THESE TIRE ARE NOT ADEQUATE FOR THIS SIZE VEHICLE. FORD HOPES THAT CONSUMERS ARE STUPID AND JUST BUY NEW TIRES. THESE TIRES WILL GET PEOPLE KILLED. FORD SHOULD NOT USE THESE TIRES. ACTUALLY COME TO THINK OF IT MY 2018 VW GTI HAS THE SAME TIRES AND I HAD A SIDEWALL FAIL WITHIN 300 MILES OF PURCHASING. HANKOOK IS GARBAGE!!!!!!
