1 Tire problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2012

2005 Chevrolet Express 3500. Parking brake cable on rear, drivers side, rubbing against side of tire. Tire rubs down until it breaks. Tire was totally shredded but I was able to slow and steer to side of road. New tire put on but they did not see the cable in the way or rubbing! I only saw it because I was looking under the car for a new metallic clanking noise (that is something else). My new tire was almost rubbed through after only 3 weeks. I pulled the cable way back into its retainer but the retainer is about 1. 5 square inches and the cable is only 1/8 in so is not firmly held in place (only by some friction). If you have a chevy express, check your cable and tire.
