Have 4 of theses on a 2022 Peugeot 208 EV, noisy tire, car isnt quiet as it was with the original Michelin E-primacy but the michelins are fierce money. The tire pressure monitor came on when driving one day and i stopped and checked all tires and they were ok , i even ran my had around all tires to see if there was a screw or a nail in the tire and nothing so continued driving and after about 10 minutes the car very noisy and handling was bad so i knew i had a puncture and pulled in. I have a compressor in the boot so i tried to pump up the tire and air was flying out so i got the tire sealant and it was workig but the tire was blowing up in lumps so i knew the tire was all twisted. When i looked at the tire there was a big piece of rubber that came away from the tire so i seems to me the tire was bad and deformed and these tires are only a little over half worn also from the picture you can see cracks in between the treads. Whe i was looking up tires i did see a lot of people complained about thes tires loosing their shape and thats exactly what happened to this tire. On my experience i wont be buying kumho tires again . The tire is gone back to the garage that fitted them so i will wait and see what happens. I now have to buy 2 new tires even though the kumhos are only half worn.
