I purchased two classic P225/60R16 tires design # 8938N about 2 or 3 years ago. They still are like new. They both are starting to have cracks in the rubber around the rim. Looks like they are dry rotting. They were placed on the rear of the vehicle.

S.mgr stated this was normal condition due to brake pad metallic lining. 8/24/03 contacted GM customer service about issue. Asked to have new rotors and brakes put on vehicle. Response was "GM is aware of issues with our brakes and rotors, but if there is no defect the part would not be replaced." I restated about the score mark on the new rotor and was told sorry nothing they could do at this point. 9/2/03 while oil was being changed two bolts where noticed missing from the transmission pan.
