Kumho Tire Sidewall Torn After Screw Removal – Serious Safety Concern

When we removed my Kumho tire after a screw got stuck in it, what I saw was shocking — the tire’s sidewall was completely torn. If that screw hadn’t pierced it, I might never have noticed the damage.

Had this happened while driving, it could have easily led to a serious accident. This situation shows just how unsafe and unreliable these tires are. I will never go near Kumho again after this experience.
