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 )
