Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: At 9000 miles center treads of all tires were showing abnormal wear. spoke to gm directly, they sent me to dealer. i was told that is the way the affinity tires wear and they should be good for another 30,000 miles. i asked them to put that in writing for me, of course they refused. at the present 13000 miles, the tread wear is spreading. if gm and chevrolet both knew that these tires wore this way, they could have at least given the option of upgrading to better tires. i do not feel safe with these tires, especialy with the weather conditions in the are that i live.. i believe that i was taken advantage of by a major corporation to the fullest.. shame on chevrolet. *ak (dot number: 027487)
