I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY COLORADO WITH THE SPORT PACKAGE / LOW PROFILE TIRES. I HAVE HAD ONE BLOW-OUT ALREADY AND NOW HAVE A FRONT TIRE THAT HAS AN APPROX. 12" BUBBLE IN IT THAT OCCURED WHEN DRIVING ON A 80* DAY AT 70MPH. THE BUBBLE IS APPROX. 3" IN HEIGHT. THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 28,000 MILES AND HAS NOW GONE THRU TWO TIRES.

DT: THE TIRES WOBBLE ON THE VEHICLE AND MAKE THE VEHICLE VIBRATE. THERE HAVE BEEN 13 TIRES PUT ON THIS TRUCK SINCE 9-27-04. THE TRUCK ALSO FISHTAILS ON THESE TIRES WHEN THE SPEED IS 50 AND OVER. GM HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS EXTEND THE WARRANTY AND KEEP REPLACING THE TIRES. GM HAS INFORMED THE OWNER THAT THESE GENERAL TIRES, GENERAL AMERITRAC TR ARE THE ONLY TIRES THAT ARE SHOWING WEAR ON THE INSIDE. ALL FOUR TIRES ON ALL FOUR LOCATIONS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE HAS BEEN REPLACED ONE EXTRA TIME FOR A FACTORY DEFECT. THIS IS A Z-71 SUSPENSION. THE CORRECTION: THE DEALERSHIP KEEPS CHANGING OUT THE TIRES AND GM HAS SUPPLIED A RENTAL VEHICLE WHILE THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE. THE TIRE ARE GENERAL AMERITRAC TR. TIRE SIZE 265/75R15.

DT: CONTACT STATES THE TIRES HAVE NO TRACTION, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLIDE. *AK

I HAVE CHEVROLET COLORADO, 2004 STANDARD CAB. THE LEFT REAT TIRE BLEW AND I MEAN BLEW WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. I DON'T THINK I HIT A THING, BUT THE TIRE LITERALLY POPPED. IT TOOK THE DEALER OVER 2 WEEKS TO GET A TIRE IN BECAUSE THEY WERE OUT. IF THEY ARE GOING THROUGH THIS MANY TIRES THERE HAS TO BE A PROBLEM. *AK

I OWN A 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO AND I AM EXPERIENCING A SHAKE DUE TO THE TIRES HEATING UP/COOLING OFF, AND GETTING FLAT SPOTS FROM THAT.*AK

TIRE BLOWOUT AT A SLOW SPEED, DEFECTIVE PLASTIC FASTENERS, VIBRATION, SHIMMING COULD BE CAUSED BY FAULTY TIRES THAT HAVE MORE THAN ONE CREASE ON THE SIDES.*AK

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO Z71 4X4 IN THE PASSING LANE ON RT. 460, WHEN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE ( GENERAL AMERITEC TR P265/75-150) BLEW OUT, THE WHOLE SIDE BLEW OUT. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL. THE TIRE WRAPPED ITSELF AROUND THE HUB AND I INJURED MY BACK TRYING TO GET IT OFF . THIS TIRE SEEMS TOO LIGHT DUTY FOR A PICK-UP, THE SIDE WALLS ARE VERY, VERY THIN. ANYWAY, THIS TIRE ONLY HAD 7400 MILES ON IT WHEN IT BLEW OUT AND NEITHER THE MANUFACTURE, NOR THE DEALER WOULD REPLACE IT. I ENDED UP PAYING FOR A NEW ONE MYSELF. BUT, LIKE I SAID, I DON'T THINK THIS IS A SUITABLE TIRE FOR THIS VEHICLE.*AK
