we have a 2007 tiburon-our doughte also has a 2007-she has rotated the tires and had the oul changed at the dealer-she noticed it started making noise-took it to the dealer-they said it was the bearings-it also needed an alignment,and they told me her tires were just about gone-since she only has 23000 miles-should it need new tires-did the bad bearings have anything to mdo with tire wear-and shoul the dealer help her with new tires since she rotated and kept the proper pressure in them? the bearings were covered-but how many miles can we expect from a new car from the tires-it isn''t a race car-its just the 4 cylinder standard version-thank youjfjazz7@yahoo.com

Rear bearings on 2003-up Tiburons are somewhat common and can go early but they should be covered under the warranty. Mine were fine but I have heard of others with that problem.

Did the bearings cause the tires to wear out? Maybe, maybe not. The original tires on my 2004 Tiburon were down to the wear bars around 28K miles so tires being worn out by 23K isn''t that unusual. The bearings may have sped that up slightly but I doubt you''ll get Hyundai to cover the tires.

either cheap tires or your daughter is driving it harder then she is telling you. i''ve bought some pretty cheap tires, drive hard and still get at least 35K out of them, as for bearings,,,all tiburon wheel bearings have a tendancey to go bad,,,i have the 01 and both rears and fronts had to be replaced,,but they never had adverse effects on my tires,,,just very anoying.. it also could be that she threw a weight on one of the tires,,,if its a wobble sound its a throw wieght,,if its a loud hum,,then its the bearings.
