Tried to post this issue, but not sure if it was posted at the right place.
The 2013 Veloster Turbo eats tires like nothing.
Here is the issue in some details:
2018 spring- Vehicle bought with 45k, original wheels and "Westlake' tires.
2018 -summer- The car vibrates and makes a lot of noise, coming from the wheels/tires/suspension. Also gives a very rough ride
2018- Fall - New set of wheels and tires bought, after discovering bent/out of shape wheels. Alignment balancing done.
2019- Early spring - Noticing that the new tires (Falken Z 225/40/R18) are getting louder and shows uneven wear. (front tires are unusually wearing out, despite commuter driving on highways (95% highway+5% city driving)
Taken to a shop , alignment/balancing done again. Tires rotated. Tires are louder after rotation.
2019- Summer , road noise is unbearable, this car has issues going over bumps and cracks, The same road inperfections are barely noticable in a 2015 Honda Fit and my parent's 2010 Hyundai Accent. Also, the same road driven in a 2018 Mustang with no noticable road noise or bumpiness. These road inperfections are not extreme but the Veloster makes them to be.
2019 Summer (cont). Front struts replaced, ball joints checked/lubricated. The new struts make no difference in ride quality, the service was recommended though (at 70,000 miles)
2019 Fall - New tires and wheels purchased. 17 inch (downsized) with 225/25/R17. Hoping the extra sidewall on the tire dampens the rough ride. Balancing/alignment done again. At this point I spent over $3500 on just wheels and tires / suspension service on this car, with no significant change in ride quality and no change in wearing down the tires (see cont)
2020- Spring The car was only driven a few times a week during 2019-2020 winter, the ride was extremely harsh in cold temperatures with all season tires, also the traction is nothing to brag about, with the rear end gets loose on snow-powdered roads.
2020-Summer, Taken to the mechanic. The Front intermediate Axle shaft replaced. The car was vibrating and shaking and making a howling noise ($680)
2020 - Summer. The wheels are being rotated (85,000 miles), the car now makes a horrendous noise of something similar to a jet engine taking off recorded on tape and looped. According to the dealer, it's the tires. The tires do not show significant wear, but who am I to say what's wrong with it.
So, in a nutshell, between 2018-2020, the car went through 3 sets of wheels and tires. I'd say 2 of the original wheels were busted, the tires were semi-worn. 2nd set of 18" wheels and tires busted, front tires were bald or cupped, not sure how to describe. 3rd set of tires (on a 17" wheels) look ok, but make a horrible noise now.
2020- Fall. My wife purchased another car and she lets me borrow hers to commute, The Veloster Turbo is parked in the garage, indefinitely. I have never owned a car like this, and I owed cars since 1992.
