My tires are almost worn out and I'll soon need new summer tires. I've had Michelin Primacy 4 tires so far, what do you recommend?

Someone help I'm lost. The front wheels seem to skip and do a loud knock when I'm turning at low speed/idle. This started happening when I changed to summer tires, they are all torque at 110 so that's not a question. I sent it to the dealership and they said CV axle, they changed it under warranty and it still happens. I read online about the Ackerman thing now i was wondering if anyone else here experience the same thing and they just deal with it?

Hey yall.

I took over my mom's 2022 Kona N in about 2023 after my Hyundai Veloster got totaled (not my fault by the way). Since it was new, still had the first-owner-warranty, and she had a low 3.5% rate on her loan, I've just been paying her without ever legally taking over the car. Today however, my wife and I are at a crossroads.

Do we jump ship on the car and get a new one?
Or do we double down and ride this one for the long-term?

Some info:
-We have about 20k still on the loan. Carvana will currently buy it for a little over that amount. So we could get out of the loan right now debt-free.

-We cannot take over my mom's loan. We would have to get a new loan and then we'd have a 20k loan at a ~5.6% rate moving forward.

-The car is in very good condition right now. A wash and a wax from looking near-new, minus some minor road ware on the paint.

-The car is at about 45,000 miles

-We've never had any major or minor issues with the car (other than another vehicle hitting the front bumper, fully repaired now.). But I know every car has a honeymoon period.

-Its a fancier model than we'd ever get ourselves. I.e if we got a new car, it'd likely be closer to a base model vehicle ~$25,000 range. I love this car, but I'm not a car guy, and at the end of the day, I just need a reliable vehicle. Personality is a plus, but I'm not going to fork over alot extra for more car pizazz. When we took over the note, it actually was cheaper than buying a used car at the time so we thought why not?!

So heres where we're at...

We're trying to find out if Hyundais, and specifically this model, hold up well long term. We'd like to keep whatever car we end up with until it quits. Currently, our cheapest option is to keep our 2022 Kona N. But if these things are known to implode at like 60k miles or something, then now would be the most opportune time to start fresh.

We would really appreciate any advice yall could give! Any business involving a car is stressful business and we're really struggling at the moment to decide on our next move...

*Edit: For some reason I thought the Veloster was a Nissan vehicle. My bad.

As the title suggests just need some advice as i am looking at installing a hybrid turbo.
