My 2017 ford explorer has 19,000 miles on it and has been maintained well. It was outfitted with hankook ventus s1 nobles 255/50r20 tires when we purchased it new in dec 2017.

I took my 2017 ford explorer sport with 23,800 miles to be inspected today and it failed inspection. I was told that the tires are severely worn. I took it to a tire place and they concurred. The tires are hankook ventus s1 noble 2. There is almost no tread left and the they are scalloping and flaking pieces of rubber.
