Consumer Description

STOCK TIRE ONE (FRONT RIGHT) FAILED ON INTERSTATE DUE TO EXTREME TIRE WEAR ON THE INSIDE SECTION OF TREAD. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 18,000 MI ON THE GTO. I REPLACED THE TIRE. THE TWO ON FRONT LEFT FAILED VIA A SLOW LEAK AT 21,000 MI. WHEN REPLACING THE SECOND TIRE I NOTICED THE SAME EXTREME WEAR ON INSIDE PART OF THE TIRE(INTERNAL WIRE BELT SHOWING. I INSPECTED THE REAR TIRES , RECENTLY ROTATED, AND FOUND SAME EXCESSIVE INSIDE TREAD WEAR. AFTER INSPECTING THE WHEEL WELLS, IT BECAME OBVIOUS THAT THE TIRES ARE CONSISTENTLY RUBBING INSIDE AGAINST THE FRONT STRUTS DUE TO LACK OF CLEARANCE. I HAD TO PURCHASE A COMPLETE SET OF 4 NEW TIRES AND I ALSO PHOTOGRAPHED THE USED/WORN TIRES AND THE WORN/SCRATCHED FRONT STRUTS. THIS VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY AND I HAVE NOT YET REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. *AK
