Consumer Description

THE SERVICE WRITER FIRST SAID, "IT'S OUT OF ALIGNMENT." I KNOW BETTER (I'VE BEEN IN THE AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR BUSINESS FOR 21 YEARS). THEN HE SAID, "THE TIRE WAS RAN LOW." I SAID IT WASN'T. THEN HE SAID, "YOU DIDN'T ROTATE THE TIRES OFTEN ENOUGH." THEN HE SAID (IN CONFIDENCE), "GM USES JUNK TIRES." BUT THEY WON'T WARRANTY THE TIRES. AND I HAVE A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. I ALSO KNOW THAT ALL CHEVY ASTROVANS HAVE THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM.( DOT NUMBER: ?? TIRE SIZE: P195/65R15 )
