Noticed 2 weeks ago that the hankook ventus s1 noble2 tires on our explorer were peeling and chunks were coming out. We brought the car to the dealer since they had just performed a tire rotation a couple weeks prior and said the tires were in good shape. They said "oh, you have the hankook? Those are known for that". They could not replace them. Contacted hankook and ford. We were told they would put new hankook…

The tires on my 2016 ford explorer sport are ventus s1 noble 2 20 inch tires and they have been peeling, chipping and cracking for the past 8 months. I rotate my tires every 7000 to 8000 miles but the tires are wearing prematurely. I've been told that it is safe to drive but these shouldn't be happening on a vehicle with less than 40,000 miles. Really, this should be happening at all. There was a recall on these…

I live in gainesville, fl, which has very good roads and i drive 99% of the time within city other than going to orlando or jacksonville on i75. Also the tires have worn off way too quickly than normal as they have reached 4mm wear within 26000 miles!! The tire manufacturer is refusing to replace it and only offering 4% discount on new…

Hankook ventus s1 noble 2 255/50r20 105h tires. At 20,000 noticed rubber pieces of tread peeling away and chipping from all four clearly defective tires. This defect appears similar to tread being sliced by razor blades all over the tires. Dealer acknowledges defective tires, but refuses to honor fords warranty to prorate replacement at less 60 percent, and is only willing to replace with same brand of tire at 20…

When driving on a highway at approximately 70mph, i completely lost control of my vehicle for no known reason. I veered across 3 lanes of traffic and back across 2 more. Cars were swerving around me and miraculously i was not in an accident. I pulled over to the side of the road and other cars traveling behind me at the time did too. We couldn't see any reason why the car wasn't working properly so after catching my…

2016 ford explorer with hankook ventus s1 noble 2 tires. Approximately 3 months ago my wife was driving on a local surface street at 45 mph. Her tire pressure monitor illuminated on the dash while simultaneously the vehicle veered sharply to the right. Upon inspection there was a 2-3 inch laceration in the sidewall of the front passenger side tire. There were not any potholes in the street where this incident…

While moving at high speed in rush-hour traffic in the fast lane on hwy 680 s in dublin, ca the engine just shut down. This is dangerous. The car was towed to ford for repair - they state it was a "throttle body assembly" problem - apparently a well-know problem. This happened with less than 6,000 miles. Also, all 4 original equipment tires blew-out with less than 6,000 miles - only one had a road-hazard - all had…
