My Vibe came with ContiTouring Contact CH95 Allseason Tires P205/55R/89H CH95They are the worst tire I have ever had in snow wet conditions. Arguring right with GM Canada & Dealer for differant tiresIf your vibe is equpped with these tires and experancing same handleing problems with tire let me know with Subject line tires so I don't delete youThanks

Check out the Wheels & Tires forum, there's plenty of stuff about how horrible the Conti's are.

I hope you're not actually expecting GM to give you new tires.

Yeah, but that was due to wear, not lack of traction.

Lack of traction is not a defect... premature tire wear can be which is why some tires can be replaced under warranty and some won't.Personally speaking for myself in regards to the conti tires on my Vibe, they are gone this summer when I put on my gunmetal rims. Come winter when I take those off, I'm putting on winter tires on my current steel wheels... Not sure what I'll do with the conti... sucker someone into buying them maybe heh.
