khusein Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 i bought my jeep grand cherokee in sep 2011. today just after 4 months, while driving on emirates road, one of the rear tyres burst. the brand as given during the car delivery was Kumho tyres. does anyone have any idea what could be the reason? i have enquired with the showroom guys and are awaiting their response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepDxb Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Thats very sad, hope you are doing fine. What i can probably guess would be really low pressure like in 20 - 25 psi and driving at 140kmph for constant an hour so would be enough to burst any tire. If tire was properly inflated, then it could be bad quality as Kumhos are korean (if i am not wrong) so cant expect japanese or US standard there. Lets see what trading enterprises build a story......! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
