TIRES
DESPITE REPEATED ALIGNMENTS AND BALANCINGS, THE TIRES VIBRATE, THE VEHICLE PULLS, AND WET AND SNOW PERFORMANCE IS POOR COMPARED TO OTHER OE TIRES GM HAS USED IN THE PAST, I.E. GOODYEAR. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS PROBLEM WITH NATIONAL TIRE AND BATTERY, AND THEY ARE OF THE OPINION THAT ALL WILDERNESS AT TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER OWNERS OF CHEVYS TRUCKS WILL SIMILAR EXPERIENCES, AND THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET THAT HAVE DOCUMENTED BLOWOUTS. IT IS TIME TO ACT AND GET WILDERNESS AT TIRES OFF THE ROAD WITH A COMPLETE RECALL. THANK YOU FOR INVESTIGATING THIS MATTER. JAMES CILECEK, MD.
