Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: In january 1999 i received a service bulletin # 81-31-02 from cadillac motor vehicle division informing me that the catera had a tendency to "...drift or lead to the right while driving and/or the front tires appear to be wearing more on the inner shoulder." i took the vehicle in the repair per their request but the tires continued to wear on the inner edge to the point of steel tread showing through but sterling & cadillac motor vehicle division now say there's "nothing we can do about it". in the meantime i need 4 new tires. i believe there is a defect in the nonmenclature of this vehicle causing premature breakdown of the tires. *ak (tiresize: 225/55-16)( dot number: tire size: 225/55-16 )
