2000 Chevrolet Malibu Tires & Wheels Problems

I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW ABOUT AN EXPERIENCE AT DISCOUNT TIRE 580 W TELEGRAPH WASHINGTON UTAH. AND YOU CAN FORWARD THIS TO ANY REGULATING AGENCY.FROM MY KNOWLEDGE, WHEN TWO TIRES ARE PURCHASED NEW, IT IS REQUIRED TO MOUNT THEM ON THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE IF IT IS FRONT WHEEL DRIVE. AND MOVE THE LOWER TREAD TIRES TO THE BACK.WHILE AT THIS LOCATION, THE PERSON RUNNING THE SHOP STATED THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH TIRES OR ROTATE THEM IF THEY HAVE LOW TREAD.AND THEY MOUNTED THE TWO NEW ONES ON OPPOSITE CORNERS (FRONT DRIVER AND REAR PASSENGER). AND TRIED TO SELL 2 ADDITIONAL TIRES.THIS IS AGAINST THE LAW. I WANT THIS BUSINESS REVIEWED FOR THEIR LICENSE. *TR

MY 2000 CHEVROLET MALIBU HAD 37,500 MILES ON IT WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE FIRESTONE AFFINITY P21560R15 TIRES WERE CRACKING. THE DEEP GROOVES BETWEEN THE TREADS HAD CRACKS AND THE SHOULDER OF THE TIRE HAD A WEB OF CRACKS. THERE WAS STILL A LOT OF TREAD LEFT ON THE TIRES. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS OCCUR ON ANY TIRES I HAVE OWNED IN MY 40 YEARS OF DRIVING. ONE LOCAL TIRE STORE ADVISED ME THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON IN AFFINITY TIRES BECAUSE FIRESTONE DOESN'T PUT ENOUGH MOISTURE INTO THE COMPOUND THEREBY SHORTENING THE LIFE OF THE TIRE.*AK

AT 9000 MILES CENTER TREADS OF ALL TIRES WERE SHOWING ABNORMAL WEAR. SPOKE TO GM DIRECTLY, THEY SENT ME TO DEALER. I WAS TOLD THAT IS THE WAY THE AFFINITY TIRES WEAR AND THEY SHOULD BE GOOD FOR ANOTHER 30,000 MILES. I ASKED THEM TO PUT THAT IN WRITING FOR ME, OF COURSE THEY REFUSED. AT THE PRESENT 13000 MILES, THE TREAD WEAR IS SPREADING. IF GM AND CHEVROLET BOTH KNEW THAT THESE TIRES WORE THIS WAY, THEY COULD HAVE AT LEAST GIVEN THE OPTION OF UPGRADING TO BETTER TIRES. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH THESE TIRES, ESPECIALY WITH THE WEATHER CONDITIONS IN THE ARE THAT I LIVE.. I BELIEVE THAT I WAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY A MAJOR CORPORATION TO THE FULLEST.. SHAME ON CHEVROLET. *AK (DOT NUMBER: 027487)
