I haven't seen this before in my 14 years of driving. Is this factory defect? Tread split or separation. Think the dealer will cover this under hankook warranty? I hate my dealer btw.

Any input would be appreciated!

Looks like you ran over something that cut in to the tire.

That's a possibility. but will it go deeper eventually expose the belt?

Looking at the slit it looks to go pretty far down into the tread block and is pretty close to the very bottom of it. I'm not sure I'd want to drive on that.

If you took out the wheel/tire coverage I'd imagine that would be covered. Otherwise you'll probably have to buy a new tire.

I'm still on Stock tires that came with the car. Not sure how warranty works. I'm guessing calling the dealer.
The hankook warranty page doesn't say much.

If you have road hazard coverage, you can get a tire. If not you'll need to buy one. That is not a defect, that is an impact.
