My C has just over 13,000 miles on it and I just noticed that the tires are "cupping" very bad. (Tires have been rotated twice) So far I have not noticed any bouncing or vibration in the steering wheel, but they are really getting bad and I am sure it is only a matter of time. Anyone else with this problem?

DId you ever have the car aligned?

 

[high groove]

No it has not been aligned...I have had other cars/tires and driven over 20-30,000 miles before aligning them...What do you think?

Everything I have read suggests that is your problem.

Yes, it sounds like you are powerless over your right foot and your ECU has become unmanageable.

But there is hope for you. Somewhere close by, is a chapter of H.A.

You will find good people at Hemis Anonymous who understand your problem.

If you are truly ready, my son, you can conquer your addiction.

Bald tires will be a thing of the past.

I don't need H.A. I can stop anytime I want....Tomorrow, maybe.

15k and mine are almost bald, at least I have even wear. Going to try and steal a pair of conti's or something from ebay.
any suggestions on a better tire???

 

[ericraven]

I had to get mine realigned within of 2 weeks of buying it. My service rep said almost everyone purchased at the dealership had do get it done within a month of purchase. Warranty coverd it.

Just had my oil changed and I'm told that at 17K+ all I have left on my tires is 4/32's all the way around!! That's bull s%it I m old and I don't burn the tires like I did when I was young. These OEM tires are junk SOB's and I'm pissed I now have to buy new tires and the car isn't even a year old yet.

 

[LWOOD]

I have 22k and will be looking at full relacement before winter. I am not impressed with these tires. I hope some more tire choices exist for me come time for replacement.

 

[II kings 9:20]

Unfortunately DC decided on a very odd size and the pickins are slim for replacement tires, the awful Pirelli P6 is on the list along with the Contis. What a shame these European brands are no good. I have not found a Bridgestone, Yoko, or Michilen in our size.

Since when does not lasting long equate to bad? Not lasting long means sticky (well, not always, but often).

235/65 is too tall, over 30" stock is 28.6, 235/55 is smaller at 28.1", makes that gap look even bigger.
