Consumer Description

2005 PONTIAC GTO WITH 18" PERFORMANCE TIRE/WHEEL PACKAGE. PREMATURE SUSPENSION BUSHING WEAR CAUSING PREMATURE TIRE WEAR AND ALIGNMENT ISSUES IN ONLY 14,000 MILES. TIRES ARE COMPLETELY WORN OUT ON THE INNER EDGE IN 14,000 MILES. FORTUNATELY, I CAUGHT THIS BEFORE THEIR WAS A BLOW OUT OF A STEERING AXLE TIRE WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND POSSIBLY A MVA. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A WIDELY KNOWN PROBLEM GM HAS NOT ADDRESSED IT AND THE DEALERSHIP IS UNRESPONSIVE. FORTUNATELY THIS VEHICLE HAS THE 18" TIRE PACKAGE OR THE TIRE SIDE WALL WOULD BE RUBBING ON THE STRUT AS THEY DO ON THE VEHICLES WITH THE "STANDARD" 17" TIRE/WHEEL PACKAGE. *TR
