I am honestly disgusted that I am having to replace my tires already on my 2020 Telluride. These tires did not even last 24,000 miles. They were rotated on schedule. Has anyone else had this issue?

Yes I had to replace mine with about the same mileage. Mine had been taken care of too. Apparently the Pirelli tires they use dont last long

Awd drive vehicles are hard on tires. Rotate every 5k miles. I have 22k on mine and the tread is 5/32,

Posted on tires and wheels I
am having my 20 in Michelin replaced with Michelin Defender only have 22k and they are at 4/32?? My dealer of 50+ years said this has been the norm in todays world factory tires are being made with cheaper compounds and not just on the Kia's but every mfg they have changed out many tires in the 20k range on the newer cars. 245-20-50's are a wide tire more rubber on the road and they will not get the rated mileage in most cases. I also mentioned my vibration problem at 70-80, it may decrease with a better compound tire and tread design and possibly a better ride. Will update at later date if this made a difference.

True, but it is a limited warranty and you wont get full replacement unless it is defective or recalled.
Have to read the small print there is a lot of take aways for replacement tires.

For the warranty to be in effect you usually need to be down to 2/32'nds of tread, which is crazy low IMHO.

44,642 and at 05/32 FRONT, and 08/32 REAR.

I am 90% highway (and NO driving for the first YEAR because of covid) though and even dealer asked if I had bought 2 new tires.. I am almost positive dealer did not ROTATE as they were supposed to though :(

And for vibration issue:

Hi all.
Just an FYI:
I had/have the 60mph-75mph vibration on my 2020 Telluride for the last 2 years or so. I thought it was "road noise" initially, did not pay attention to the pattern (shame on me).

After it getting progressively worse, to the point where I could not even see anyting in the rear view mirrors because of the whole body vibration (at 60 - 75mph), I finally did some research on line and saw "the issue". I took it in asking for them to check it out for this issue and heard back the next day from the dealer that the vehicle was "unsafe to drive". The "left and right inner CV boots" are leaking as well as the "differential seals". I asked if the was the cause of or the result of the vibrations and they said "yes that is the reason"... so... ok? FYI all.. sad there is no recall.

I just hit 24,000 miles on my 2022 and have Michellins from the factory on them. Get rotated every 7500 miles and still have 7/32 on them.
