TIRES
PER THE MANUFACTURES DIRECTIONS I INFLATE THE TIRES TO 55PSI FRONT AND 80PSI REAR. I TOW A 30FT, 10,000LB FIFTH WHEEL WHOSE KING PIN WEIGHT IS 1600LBS. I DRIVE UP TO 60MPH TOWING AND BETWEEN 65 AND 70 WHEN NOT TOWING. I CHOOSE THE TRUCK TO PROVIDE A ONE THIRD SAFETY MARGIN FOR THE TRUCKS TOTAL CAPACITY. HAVE ROTATED THE TIRES FRONT TO REAR AS CHEVY RECOMMENDS AND INFLATED ACCORDINGLY. HAVE NOTICED LATELY THAT THE TIRES HAVE A CIRCUMFERENTIAL DEPRESSION MIDWAY UP THE TIRE SIDE WALL ON BOTH SIDES. IN THIS DEPRESSION AREA THERE IS CHECKING ON BOTH SIDES. THE CHECKING DOES NOT SHOW UP ON THE REST OF THE SIDE WALL. BEING FAMILIAR WITH TIRE MANUFACTURING THIS TELLS ME THAT THE RUBBER SHEET LAYUP PRIOR TO VULCANIZING IS NOT UNIFORM FROM BEAD TO BEAD AROUND THE TIRE. THIS MAY BE A POTENTIAL AREA OF SIDE WALL SEPERATION, DUE TO LOADING OR START UP AND STOPPING RADIAL TORQUE ON THE TIRE. ALL 4 TIRES EXHIBIT THIS BUT I DIDN'T NOTICE IT PRIOR TO ROTATING THEM. THE TIRES WERE MADE IN CANADA TO TPC 2012 MS 23572 UR BM05326-2 IF THIS HELPS. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THESE TIRES AND THE POSSIBLE PROBLEM THEY MAY HAVE. THEY ARE NOT TO THE POINT, WEAR WISE, THAT I WOULD BUY A NEW SET. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK AMD HOW YOU VIEW THIS ISSUE. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL OR EMAIL ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I HAD TALKED WITH MR. GEORGE GILLESPIE AND HE ADVISED ME TO FILL OUT THIS QUESTIONAIRE, AND HE FOUND THIS ISSUE INTERESTING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. YOURS TRULEY, MIKE GRUDT DT

SEATS
MY FAMILY WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION IN APRIL OF 97.WE FILED A SUIT WITH GM AND LOST BECAUSE OF THE COMPARATIVE LAW IN TN. HOWEVER, DURING THE LAW SUIT WE WERE INFORMED THAT NHTSA DOES NOT OR DID NOT REQUIRE A CRASH WORTHINESS TEST ON SEAT BACK STRENGTH ON DRIVERS SIDE IF LOADED DURING A CRASH.I AM REPORTING TO YOU THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS AND WE FEEL THAT SOME KIND OF TESTS NEED TO BE REQUIRED.DURING THE TRIAL WE MET SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT COMPLAINED TO NHTSA AND TO GM ABOUT BOTH DRIVERS SEATBACK AND PASSENGER SEATBACKS COMING FORWARD IN A FRONTAL COLLISION.THESE SILVERADO EXTENDED CAB TRUCKS NEED TO BE TESTED OR THE SEATS NEED TO BE REMOVED AND SUPPLEMENTED WITH THE BUCKET SEATS THAT GM SUBED IN DURING THE MIDDLE OF PRODUCTION.GM WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND DID COMPLY WITH THE MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDERS.I BELIEVE THAT THE STANDERS MUST BE REVISED.THE AMERICAN CONSUMER SPENDS 20,000-$30,000.00 ON VEHICLES AND THE SHOULD FEEL SAFE.THE EXTENDED CAB SIVERADO PICK-UP IS A SHARP LOOKING VEHICLE AND IT KEEPS VALUE SO IT IS APPEALING TO CONSUMERS AS IT APPEALED TO ME. THERE ARE SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF VEHICLES OUT THERE BETWEEN 1987-1992 THAT HAVE THIS SEATBACK LOCKING MECHANISM.PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE ANYONE ELSE GETS HURT. MR
