Consumer Description

MY 2004 GTO IS NOW 13 MONTHS OLD AND HAS 12,000 MILES ON IT. I JUST SUFFERED A FAILURE OF THE PASSENGER FRONT TIRE DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUBBING AGAINST THE SUSPENSION STRUT. THE DEALER SAID THEY IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL TIRES AND NO MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE VEHICLE. AFTER REPLACING BOTH OF THE VERY EXPENSIVE FRONT TIRES, I AM ALREADY EXPERIENCING WEAR ON THE INSIDE WALL OF THE NEW TIRES, AFTER ONLY A FEW HUNDRED MILES. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW, BUT PONTIAC WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. *NM
