Kumho 712s are a good tire. I had 225/50/16 on mine for the summer they stuck like glue and had dunlop graspics 195/65/15 for the winter.

rubberman

We were not looking to buy but they had such good deals on the vans we couldn't pass it up 4,000 off list + GST discount +GM discount and they gave me a good price on the Vibe for trade.We went for the SV6 because it looks better then the Uplander and has more features plus my daughter loves the DVD

rubberman

rubberman

Watch for bad tranny in the 5spd cars

rubberman

You could be SOL on the tires depending on your dealer and if you had you tires rotated with them.My days with the Vibe will end when it paid off and my next car will NOT be a GM product more due to the lack of good service and help with problems with the car.

rubberman

137,000 or not it should last longer then that.....my HONDAs did!

rubberman

Just had my aligment done last week and they said the rear is out(right)-0.6mm(camber)and thrust toe angle .01mm..

rubberman

Just replaced my crappy Contis today with Kumho 712s 225/50/16 The Contis only had 18,000kms if that and they junk(bald spots etc).

Got the Fax Tool-Guy thanks.Vibe 04 my dealer gave flak about tire rotations in the summer saying they had no record of them being done(did them myself when I removed the snows) the tires are all wore on the inside(If they were smart this means they were rotated) and one or two have blad patchs.My l...

rubberman

Thank you.This really pissed me off I aurgued with the retards at the dealer all summer and even phoned GM (waste of time)and all they said was I didn't rotate the tires well da there all fnn cupped on the edges.The car has 43,000kms and run snows in the winter

rubberman

Is there a way to post the whole tsb so it can printed off. I found if you have a copy the dealer can't play stupid.When I had a copy of the battery one they replaced it right away.

Quote, originally posted by new05vibeowner Â»Seems the good folks at Pontiac have given us Vibe owners with Continental tires a Christmas present!

Like I said

rubberman

Yes they will any 5x100 will work http://www.discountedwheelware...e.cfm

rubberman

On my Civic I fill the tank and add stybil,change the oil and filter remove the battery and made up some blocks to just take the weight off the springs and tires.

rubberman

They may be Toyota parts but the service idots are from GM....

rubberman

No surprise why would they want to help.You might buy anther car from them.....idots(GM)

rubberman

Some where Continental must mean CRAP,18,000kms and there shot.The tires where rotated every spring (snows for the winter)no help from the retarded General

rubberman

Get used to it!

rubberman

feathered same thing GM will not warrenty my tires because they tell me a didn't rotate them which is BS they were rotated every spring the car only has 39,900kms so half was on snows

rubberman

Should take them out and put anti seeze on the threads once a yr.If not you will never get them out.

rubberman

Like I said retards...took the car in for the tranny noise and for the tires and like I expected "Its normal"...BS!!!!!! no wonder GM is going down the crapper will never buy GM again! Sad my dad work there 40yrs.They might make some good products but there service end sucks!!!Time to have...

rubberman

Mine start making noise in third it has now spread to 4th and 5th should get louder soon then it will go get fixed so the retards at the dealer can't say "its normal" 38.000kms 2003 base

rubberman

Same crap....My dads crappy Jimmy had some useless product on it from GM

rubberman

Its due for a O&F next month,at that time I was going to have the transmission oil done and have the other seat fixed.I will wait till then maybe it will really scream by then so they will not say it is "normal"

rubberman

If they are having problems you think they would have a bullitin on it.For a toyota based product it is becoming a piece of s**t

rubberman

I have seen "dealer" applied rustproofing,from loking at different cars and from a friend who worked at a Honda dealership.They just sprayed the outside of seams(does nothing)If it is a wax product most places will not do inside doors as it gum up windows etc.

rubberman

Third gear seems to be the only one right now.I will bring it to my dealers attention at the next oil change.

rubberman

Hey if you like your cars to rot go with the dealer crap.Do they do insde doors fenders etc?I have seen "dealer" rustproofing" A little here a little there.For 300-400$ you can spray your car 3 times.The dealer laugh all the way to the bank when people buy there crap-paint protection-...

rubberman

When our family buys a car we drive it until it is dust (the Vibe is replacing a 13 year old Eagle Summit Wagon). I will get the Vibe rust proofed...probably thru the dealer as we are getting the 3 year 0% financing...so just tack it on to the payments . Save your money go to Krown or a Rust Check o...

rubberman

If a dealer is selling rustproofing its junk!!!!!!Take it to Krown or Rust Check spend 100 or so a year,nothing works better then a oil based product as long it is applied correctly.Sure it drips but after working at Rust Check(Krown is close) for 7yrs I have seen what works and what doesn't,Ziebart...

rubberman

Anyone else have a real loud whining noise from there manual (5spd)transmission.Mine seems loud in 3rd gear at about 30 to 50Kph after driving my civic with 235.000km it sounds like a old truck. The car has 35,000kms

rubberman

I think the base car would be better with a 6spd the ratios in the 5spd suck.1,2,3 are ok but 4 is to tall should have been closer like my Si even 5 could have been shorter. I would have given up 4mpg to have a shorter 5th gear.On a hilly road speed limit at 80kph so i am doing 90kph with the air on...

rubberman

Has anyone else had this problem.We had the diver seat fixed and now the passenger seat is doing the same thing

rubberman

The new battery works great.The last few days here have been -20 to -27c,the old ****ty battery would have never started the car.

rubberman

Quote, originally posted by scherry2 Â»you should see them driven at the factory. Yeah I seen some at the truck plant in Oshawa foot right to the floor tire spinning etc.The old saying drive it let you stole it or its not mine

rubberman

rubberman

rubberman

We went ti Walmart and bought Dunlops Graspics 195/65/15 and steel rims they work awesome in the snow.This is the second winter with them.

rubberman

Went for my O&F today told the dealer about the car not starting in the cold& showed the service bullitin and they are replacing the battery.Maybe after I told them that my Honda with 580.000kms started they felt guilty.....lol.They are also fixing my passenger front seat.The dealer is Lauri...

rubberman
