I called Tire Rack and they they promptly shipped out two more tires to replace them. I took them back to the shop and these ones were WORSE than the originals.

The Tire Rack is letting me return them at no cost which leads me to believe that they are used to the issue with them.

Besides the above, the tires are quiet on the highway but the sidewalls are pillow soft and handle for crap.

AVOID these tires.
As far as Korean tires go I would only consider high-end Kumhos...

Again I really don't know why people would try to squeeze every penny when it comes to tires and brakes. Buy cheap buy twice.
