My vehicle is a 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT sport. The side walls on the Hankook Ventis S1 Noble 2 tires are cracking. The tires lose air constantly and cannot be driven on for a fear of a blowout. There has been a recall for this same make and model of tire just not this size for the same problem. This tire needs to be recalled before someone is hurt from a collision.

The tires came stock on this model car and at the 30K mile mark I noticed cracking or splitting in the sidewalls of each of the tires. I am not aware if the manufacture, Hankook, has released any statements or confirmation about this issue but the issue occurred well with the 50K mile warranty window. This was shocking to see and could have been very dangerous to myself and other drivers had the cracking sidewalls on any of the tires failed or caused a blowout on the road. Because of the nature of this issue there were no warning signs. Luckily I caught this issue before it contributed to any accidents or harm.
