The tires on my 2001 Kia Sephia wore out at 12000 miles!!! I took the car to the dealer, North County KIA in Escondido California, and they said (in a VERY snotty way) that the tires were NOT covered by the warranty because the tires were not "rotated at 7500 miles"..
No where in the tire warranty does it state that the tires are "required" to be rotated at 7500 miles or that I'll lose the warranty if they are not. All it does is recommend that they be rotated for "longer tire life".
According to the tire manufacturer, Hankook, these are 50000 mile tires.
Why is KIA failing to honor the warranty on this car??? What happened to the much advertised, much vaulted 10 year / 100000 mile warranty??? Does it not cover tires that are so poorly made that they wear out at 12000 miles!!!???
