Was sold new vehicle with p265 tires. Gmc says the dealer can put any tire he wants on the vehicle,the dealer didn't know it states in owners manual don't use tire chais with p265 tires. See page 6-52 yukon 2001 owners manual. I have filed a complaint with gmc #c05410969. I feel it is a serious condition for a dealer to be able to sell a vehicle with p265 tires without having to at least worn buyer that they can not use snow chains on p265. I really feel this is a dangerous dealer selling practice. Note: > this applies to all gmc pickup's and SUV's.

11:45am on 8/27/01 tire separation occurred at 60 MPH on pa rte 476s, mile marker 14. Contacted gm who could care less; they did not record the incident even though I tried to report it; they told me to contact firestone and that it was not gm's problem; called firestone and all they cared about was whether it was an at wildnerness tire; firestone told me to go to a local dealer for assistance.
