Hankook H457 Tires

by Michelle Saunders

I purchased 4 new Hankook tires (H457) 8/05/2014, for my 2010 Honda Accord. The tires handle very well, run quiet and smooth, and do very well in the rain. I have yet to test them in snow. I have had no problems with the tires until yesterday. I park in an enclosed garage, and when I went out to leave for an errand, I noticed the right front tire was flat. I took it to the dealer who discovered a split in the side of the tire that runs down below the rim. Will Hankook replace the tire for me? The dealer priced a new tire at approximately $114.00. My only income is disability, I am a student, and I cannot afford to purchase a new tire after having these for only 5 months. Thanks for your help!
