The front tires of my 2005 pontiac gto was rubbing against the struts. Both front tires were showing the metal tread. I took it to the dealership (beck and masten pontiac, houston,texas) and they said that the tires needed an alignment. I had 19000 miles on my car and my front tires were virtually about to blow because it needed an alignment. I had to pay for both front tires and an alignment. Please do a recall for this known issue.
2005 Pontiac Gto tires complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 44 of 44, newest first, as owners wrote them.
B.f. Goodrich factories tires were shot at 15,800 miles on at 2005 late model pontiac gto. They were dangerous and the manufacture and dealer claimed abuse which is false to keep from having to replace under warranty. I have photos and one time had the belt shift and become completely exposed. Another was bald on one side, but not the other. Two others were rounding and flattening in various spots. It appears to be they are trying to cover up a major defect that may be dangerous and costly to them much like the firestone problem on the SUV's a few years ago.
2005 pontiac gto - front tire rub on strut causing excessive tire wear on inside of front tires.
Front tire causes rubbing on the front strut, namely and more commonly the passenger's side strut. This is evidenced by a rubbing mark on the strut body, and many times wear marks on the tires themselves. The tire sidewall rubbing in this area could easily cause a blow out, especially if the owner doesn't inspect the tires and suspension well, or isn't aware of the potential problem. In light of the ford-firestone tire problems, I believe this is a situation that should be researched.
