I have a 2004 Colorado, 4 wheel drive, 4 door. 32,000 miles. Dec 2005 I noticed that the inside of my front tires were worn. I checked the back and they were worn too. I had just had the truck inspected in Sept. I took it to the dealer and he gave me a speech on how to drive my truck. I replaced all 4 tires in May 2006. Then again in Sept 2007 and I need new again Jan 2009. Same problem and the front end won't stay in alignment. They keep telling me there's nothing wrong. When your front end goes out of alignment a month after it's put in there's a problem!

2004 Colorado 2wd have had to replace front tires for wear on inside treads 2 or 3 times since the truck has been purchased. Was told this was a Chevrolet problem, as a result of the incorrect front sum toe. Tires on back last 4 times as long as ones on front. Have had front end looked at several times. Now it is very noticeable in the driving of the truck. Truck has not been off the highway since purchase. Strictly pavement use. No wrecks or hits to cause front end damage.

The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact states that GM specifies a front end alignment can go on a camber from 0.5 negative to.5 positive. He took the vehicle to a dealership one side was.2 negative the other side.3 negative. The tires on the vehicle where to a point where this could blow out a tire. The dealership was telling him that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. The problem began a few weeks ago. GM refused to replace tire under warranty. He took the vehicle to a Goodyear service center, and the technician put the vehicle on alignment machine and they set up all the diagonals. The technician told him it should not have damaged his tires, but he had a load on his vehicle. The load and the vehicle resulting in poor handling of the vehicle. They kept telling him that this occurred because of lack of tire rotation. The contact maintained this had nothing to do with problem. Damage just occurred to the two front tires on the vehicle. He said that there was poor front end specification with a load on the vehicle. He was a certified mechanic.
