Hankook optimo H724 P225/75 /R15 102 slww tires - set of 4 tires purchased new on 5/25/2018. Kept up with regular tire rotations and air pressure checks. First replacement (side wall defect) 10/21/2019. Flat repair 2/24/2020 second tire replacement (side wall defect) 8/10/2020. This is highly suspect and determinable that these tires are dangerous and defective. Hanook has denied remedy even with citing the $1.2 million jury verdict + discovery sanctions I cited to during my conversation with the claims division on 8/10, 9/1 abd 9/2/2020. Additionally, 70,000 mile tread warranty. Seller has determined the wear rate is 46,868 miles. Seller's comment: "these tires do not last long" hankook tires usa claims department admits to unusual wear but insists its tires are "within NHTSA standards". see hankook V. philpot, 2018 ark. App. 546, at 4-5, 564 S.w.3D 555, 557-58, .hankook's appeal from the circuit court's order imposing attorney's fees as a discovery sanction in hankook tire co., ltd. V. philpot, 2016 ark. App. 386, 499 S.w.3D 250., an Arkansas jury ordered South Korea-based hankook tire co. Ltd to pay $1.2 million to a severely injured dump truck driver over an accident caused by a tire tread defect. Hankook tire co. Et al. V. elmer philpot, case no. 2020 ark. App. 316, in the Arkansas court of appeals. These tires are dangerous and defective to blow outs and softness to attract rather than deflect any normal road debris+ the tire tread is already half it's determined warrantied life span which is a hazard in its own separate defect which hankook does acknowledge the later but not the former..

Family ownership since new. Recently started experiencing the "death wobble." Jeep traveling on a high speed (above 60) road starts to shake uncontrollably and is difficult/impossible to steer or maneuver. Jeep feels like it is going to fall apart. Happens without warning. Have to stop or significantly slow down before shaking stops. This is the third time in the past six months.
