Cheap Tires kill more people than using cell phones?
#17
I'm driving a 2018 Silverado 2500 and the tires it came with are the biggest pieces of junk i've had for tires so far. Three days after owning it I had to bring it back to the dealer for a bumpy ride, both front tires were uneven. They shaved them down and after a few more days I brought it back and made them replace them as it still rode like shit. Now here I am at 18k miles and they all need to be replaced. The truck is still under warranty so I'm going to put up a stink and see if the dealer will replace them. Tires are conveniently excluded in the warranty, big surprise. In hindsight, I should have made them replace all four with a different brand from the beginning. I don't know the exact model off hand, but they are Goodyear tires.

Tires are a fickle bunch, i've gotten 90k out of a cheaper pair of General Grabbers and 50k out of an expensive pair of Michelins. Though my overall best mileage were also on Michelins and they got 102k with a little life still in them. All my driving is relatively the same (an equal mix of highway and not with a little towing here and there) so I can't blame it on the difference in performance over the life of a tire. Next set of tires I'll do a little research, read the reviews and hope I get some good ones.
