I was driving home on the hwy, driving between 35-60 mph because of icy, snowy, slushy, 35 mph windy conditions. My steering wheel started vibrating crazily and my truck kept wanting to pull itself to the left. I felt bumping every time the front left wheel made a revolution. With 1 1/2 hours of driving time left i kept hoping i would make it home safely, which i did. I took my truck in the next day only for them to tell me all four tires of mine were shot - cords in two tires snapped, and bubbling and thread/treadwear in the other two. Granted, i had the tires for 7 years. However, they were 70,000 miles tires that lasted 31,000 miles. Premature treadwear was evident after driving the first 10,000 miles and became progressively worse. I maintained regular tire rotation schedule throughout. Not one time did my mechanic mention any problems, even when asked. Kumho 205/75 tires are crap, they are going to kill somebody and the company knows it. Do minimal research and you'll discover this yourself. Tire places who don't know this haven't done enough research or don't care. Is that who you want to take your recommendations from? Not one, not two, but all four tires of mine needed replacing at the same time. When i complained to the ones who highly recommended these tires, they blamed me - 7 years is too long, didn't rotate tires enough, didn't inspect them myself every time i hopped in my truck, my truck sat too long without be driven, alignments not done every year, nobody has ever complained about kumho tires (big fat lie!), they were not aware of any recalls (bigger, fattest lie), blah blah blah! Sounds like a conspiracy to me. Get kumho tires off the shelves before someone gets killed! *tr

I have not had any wrecks or anything like that, yet. My turn signals don't work properly one of my low been headlights keeps blowing and my taillights don't work. I have changed the bulbs just for them to blow when i test them. And no i do not touch the glass on the headlights. I seen there was a recall on the lighting system and on the wiring system, could this be my problem? *tr
