Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 2004 gto. the front tires have been rubbing on the struts for some time. i took it to the dealer and they told me it was normal! i'm not sure of the exact date that i took the vehicle in for repair. the dealer ended up finally replacing the tires and then charging me for an alignment of the vehicle as well. t he tires were very worn on the inside edge where they were rubbing the struts. the rub only occurred on the front of the vehicle, but on both sides. i found at ls1gto.com that there were many other people with the same exact issues as myself. the dealer couldn't comment, but did say that they had many other cars in the kansas city area with the same problem. i doubt the problem is fixed yet, even though to this point the tires haven't been rubbing that i know of. i'm very weary of the problem and try to check the tires often. thus far i have been through 1 sets of tires on the front and fear it will happen again. this is a very dangerous situation. what if i blew a front tire while driving! tires were damaged well beyond repair. no crash. *nm
