Well I had my car in twice to the dealership the last couple of days. I started getting a shaking in my left front tire. I had my tires balanced and rotated. Well after I got the car back its pulling to the left. Sat at the dealership for a hour and half. I need two new tires for my G6. My car only has 20,000 miles. Apparently, I have bad tires on my car I have the factory goodyears. So each tire is running me $120 bucks. According to the factory waranty tires are only covered for the first 12,000 miles. The dealership offered to replace 1 for me but I have to pay for the other one. I guess I can't complain. But my G6 is started to have the same problem as the GTO had with the wheel starting to shread inside it sounds like. So everybody who drives a GTP better watch out for your goodyear tires.

i have 40,000 mile on mine and they are running great still. i rotate every 5000 miles. maybe your rim is cracked, bent, etc. my coworker just got a brand new tire and after about 1000 miles it is worn, went to get car aligned and they found the crack in the wheel.
i would get something better for 120 dollars than the ls2s though. just my opinion though

Stacy vs GM
Well I'm doing so thinking today. I had my tires balanced and rotated at the dealership. I picked up my car Saturday morning and when I got my car back my wheel felt so funny then my car starts pulling to the left. Well I took my car back now my car is pulling to the right. Is it just me but could of one of the techs roated my tires wrong. Now all of a sudden I need two front new tires. I called Pontiac Roadside Assistance and had to talk to two different people. The second guy I talked to told me the dealership doesn't have to be responsible even to pay for one. I'm waiting till Tuesday to hear if GM will cover both tires for me. I told my parents tonight after my waranty is up I'm done with GM. I bought two new GM cars and I get dumped on or somebody makes a mistake.

Originally posted by bluegtp33your tires shouldnt be worn enough to pull one way or back the other
they would of essentially just swapped sides, air pressure is more likely
or your car needs aligned and again check the rims out

Ya, I go to a Chevy dealership for my service. Since most Pontiac dealers are also Buick, sometimes GMC, they tend to get a older crowd going to them...2015 Chevy SS, Perfect Blue Metallic, Sunroof, No Spare, M6

whats that sound
Well a couple weeks back I had to take my g6 gtp in for a humming sound coming from the passenger side when I accelerated come to find out they said my right front side bearings need to be replace so they replaced them and no more sound I thought that was kind of unusual because I had only 18thousand miles on my car but other than that I have had no other problem with my tires even though I did get new rims and tires the following week.

Okay get this one! i took off my aftermarket rims on my old GT and put them on my new GTP, on BOTH cars i had this problem:
In the morning (mostly when it's cold out) i will start my car up, back out, and when i start driving it feels like my front left wheel will start "hopping". No joke, you can see the car go up and down. but after i drive on it for a little bit it will go away. Again, this is only in the mornings when its kinda cold out. any guesses?
