The tires need recalled or GM needs to consider a different brand or equip vehicle with a spare tire! I have replaced 6 tires in the past year and half due to sidewalls bulging with the slightest bump ($350x6 = $2100!!!). This past Saturday was the worst - the tire went completely flat within seconds of hitting a bump leaving us stranded at 10pm. The can of fix a flat in the trunk instead of a donut does not help in these situations.

I work night shift and since this happened, I am a nervous wreck when driving to work. I hit a small bump tonight and immediately monitored my tire pressure my entire drive into work and I inspected every tire when I got to work. I can't afford to keep buying tires every couple months. I have purchased 2 of the 6 already this year.

I have lost all confidence in the safety of this vehicle due to these tires. I love the car otherwise, but I will be replacing it as soon as possible. I'm $2100 in the hole due to this issue and another $2000 in the hole for a chipmunk eating my wires. Thank goodness I purchased the extended warranty even though nothing is covered...
