I left because that had no idea when they could get the part for the car. (see attached pictures)

Both Michelin 225/40 ZR 19 Pilot Sport 4S front tires had severe "chunking", or tread peeling, on them after only 8,000 miles.

They informed me not to drive the vehicle until the tires are replaced.

They referred me to a third party tire distributor (Atlantic Tires, Bayamon, Puerto Rico). This third party distributor indicated that approximately 30 different Genesis G70's had recently made warranty claims with the same severe chunking on both front tires. They believe all the tires in that lot purchased for the Genesis...
