Consumer Description

THE TIRES RUB THE FRONT STRUTS OF MY CAR. HAD TO PURCHASE FOUR NEW TIRES AND GET A RE-ALIGNMENT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT A RESULT OF THE OEM TIRES USED ON THE VEHICLE, BUT A PROBLEM WITH THE ALIGNMENT. WHEN GM BROUGHT THE HOLDEN MONARO OVER TO THE UNITED STATES BADGED AS A GTO, THE MONARO WAS ALIGNED FOR A 235 TIRE. GM PUT A 245 TIRE AT ALL FOUR CORNERS AND DIDN'T CHANGE THE ALIGNMENT SPECS. THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE RUB. IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TIRE'S STRUCTURE/RUBBER COMPOUND/MANUFACTURING. IT IS SOLELY AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE SINCE THE 2004 GTO FIRST CAME OVER. *NM
