I have been noticing that the newer Sorentos have tires that wear very fast from factory .
My previous 2021 SX Prestige , the Continental tires were almost bold at 20,000 miles .
On this one , my new 2024 X-Line SX Prestige AWD Sorento , the tires (also Continental) at 6,200 miles of mild driving on a period of 10 months are way down on the wear thread . Maybe they will last for another 4000 miles (?) tops , so I am thinking of replacing them all and the car has only 10 months of use .
So, that means spending around $1,400.00 for new decent tires with 80,000 miles warranty (Bridgestone Alenza AS 255-45-20 ) .
My question is why KIA is supplying upper more expensive models with those tires that don`t last very much ?
Is it only Kia or this is a normal trend on every Korean new car ?
Are Kia customers experienced this trend and noticed this problem ? It can be just me and my bad luck , lol...
Please, post your thoughts
Thanks
