Early Tire Replacement????

Post by gerrykrauss »

My dealer told me I needed new front tires at 27,000 miles and said that this is a trend among Vibes, has anyone else seen this problem?

I wish mine lasted that long. Yes, it seems to be common that the OEM tires wear really fast. Oh, and welcome to GenVibe. Another PA member, we are growing!

I managed to get 35k miles from mine. I rotated every 5-6k. Hopefully, the Kelly Navigators will last for the 70k rating.
