GTO a real tire shredder? - Page 6

Well, after several trips to the dealer and over 30 phone calls, GM has given me four brand new tires. There was significant wear on the inside of the front tires. It was pulling HARD to the left. After two alignments in succession (the first one didn't do anything) it was discovered that my strut was out of position or something like that. Anyway, I'm a happy camper! Persistance paid off. It wasn't like I just rolled in to the dealer and they slapped them on, I had to bug the hell out of them.

Click on Search tab & type in GTO. Click on and watch any of their reports. Channel 5 Cleveland recently did an extensive investigative report on your problem... You'll need more than tires... I assumed everyone was aware of this issue.

Not all GTO tires are getting eat up by the struts. Mine was out of alignment because of the strut but it wasn't making contact with the tire. The easiest way to check is simply feel on the inside of your tire to see if there are wear marks and / or turn the front tires hard left and right and check them.
