Consumer Description

ON A LONG ROAD TRIP I STARTED TO NOTICE WHAT SMELLED LIKE HOT RUBBER. I NOTICED THAT THE INSIDE TREAD OF THE TIRES WAS WORN, ALMOST COMPLETELY BALD WHILE THE REST OF THE TIRE HAD TREAD. UPON REMOVAL OF THE TIRE I FOUND A WEAR MARK ON THE FRONT STRUT WHERE THE TIRE HAD BEEN RUBBING. THE CAR IS AT THE DEALER NOW, BUT THEY ARE CLAIMING THIS IS NOT A COMMON ISSUE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, HOWEVER, I HAVE FOUND MANY FROM 2004 TO 2006 GTO OWNERS REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM, AND 3 OUT OF THE 4 GTO'S THAT I KNOW THE OWNERS OF LOCALLY ARE HAVING THE PROBLEM.*AK
