A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

Kumho radial tire on the back (passenger side) of a 2007 Kia Optima failed at approxmiately 70 mph. The steel belts in the tire broke and the tire tread separated from the walls. There was no damage to the treat itself, and there was no evidence that anything other than structural failure (such as a foreign object) was responsible for the tire's failure.
