I do not advise buying this, it does not meet the stated standards.

It's been a trinity for a week now: the official dealer, Hyundai and Hankook are dragging their feet, not wanting to admit an obvious marriage, some because of their unwillingness to incur additional costs, others to recognize the low quality of components and raw materials.
While forced to ride on winter wheels. But apparently you will have to sue, recovering the costs of acquiring new tires (not Hankook), the cost of an independent examination and legal. services.
Whoever does not believe in what is written can buy this rubbish from me by finding me through officials in the Ural region.

Pros

Regular (and a disadvantage too)

Cons

This winter, I bought a new Hyundai car with standard Hankook Kinergy Eco K425 summer tires on order. When buying a car, immediately in the showroom I changed the wheels to winter ones, on disks. When it was time to return the summer tires to the car in the spring, they found that all the wheels had cracks in the side tread that went into the tire carcass (see photo). Apparently, this is how the "raw" rubber reacted to the Ural frosts (it got hard and burst). I wouldn't risk driving on those tires. The tire mileage was about 7 km, most of which fell on the relatively warm autodromes of the plant in Korea and the Avtotor sites in Hong Kong. PS: Apparently not in vain everyone writes about the noise and oakiness of Hankook, he himself had previously encountered the fact that the standard summer Hankook on Lacetti was noisier than the studded Hakkapelitta.
