My car has 16000 miles and originally came with this exact tire brand. Apparently, because I drive an electric vehicle the tires have sound dampening foam on the inside of them. They are supposed to break down slowly with time however the last four months I have had two incidents where the foam became unglued from the rest of the tire, balled up, and caused a huge amount of shake in the car as I drove at speed 60 mph or higher. It did not affect low speeds. This is a safety hazard. The first time it occurred, I considered an outlier and Michigan did replace the tire. The second time it happened, only a few thousand miles later I asked that the foam be removed from the tire as I am concerned that this is a safety hazard moving forward. Michelin needs to have this tire recalled. I asked the Hyundai dealership if other ionic five drivers with the same tires had come in with the same issues. They said absolutely we see it every day. Why is this tire still on the road. I reached out to Michelin and they Refused to refer me onto anybody to discuss this further. They also refused to pay for the foam removal process. That is why I-??ve decided to involve you. Please feel free to contact me at [XXX] to discuss further. Thank you for your consideration, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Car bounce if at 62 MPH had dealership check balance and rear two tires could not balance. Dealership de-rimmed tires and found the inner foam has fallen or detached from the inside of tire causing. Resulting in foam moving around inside tire throwing g off balance.
Sound deadening foam inside the tire delaminates and causes SEVERE wheel imbalance. This is a widespread issue on all the Hyundai Ioniq 5 forums with this tire. Mine cost me $300 and countless hours to diagnose. IT also severely impacted the cars handling and prevented the car from driving over 46mph (in my case), which is extremely dangerous on interstates. My local tire shop balanced the tires with the maximum allowed amount of weights, but then the vibration was still there at 59mph. The Hyundai dealer then diagnosed it and they charged me $180 to do a dynamic balance. According to their results, the tires were "bad" and needed to be replaced. I went to Costco to replace the tires at a cost
