Consumer states that the tires on vehicle have wires coming out of all four tires. Dealer notified.
Truck started vibrating,took a tire to a firestone dealer,they said that happens when tires aren"t rotated properly, I work at a auto service repair center,and my tires are rotated every 6000 mi faithfully, so I disagree. (tiresize: p265r75r16).
Popping and cracking noise coming from the tires on my truck.
Slight to heavy vibration occurs at highway speeds of beginning at 64mph to 78mph. Pickup has been do dealer 4 times since purchased new on 07/28/01 regarding vibration. Dealer keeps rebalancing the tires and this does not correct the problem. The pickup will be in the dealer's shop again this week, only this time they are looking for drivetrain problems. The vibration at highway speeds appears to be a reoccuring problem with the Silverado since introduction based on other consumer complaints.
Pickup has been to dealer 4 times since purchased new 7/28/01 for vibration which appears to be out of balanced tires. Tires found out of balance by dealer, but problem is not corrected. Vibration occurrs between 60mph to 77mph. (dot number: 24575r16 tiresize: lt245/75r/).
Brought truck into auto dealership and firestone dealership, and both told me that my tire is delaminating. Both told me this is from driving with a flat tire. This tire has never been flat, nor has it ever been low. This is the second issue I have had with the firestone tires on this truck. (tiresize: p265/75r).
I was in the idaho mountains on a day trip when both rear firestone at tires went flat. I changed the most flat of the two and made it into a town on the spare and a flat tire. I put air in the flat tire and made it home. I contacted gm and they told me that the firestone at tires on their trucks were different than on fords and that their's were safe (yea right). I went to a tire retailer in my area and had all the firestone wilderness at tires (including the spare) removed from my truck and new tires (not firestone) installed. The tire installer verified that the problem was tread separation. I just wanted to ask you to please recall these killer tires. I was lucky and didn't kill myself and my family on our outing because of them. All it cost me was $500. 00 for new tires to replace the garbage firestone wilderness at tires that Chevrolet installed on my truck. (tiresize: p26575r16).
Tires cupping on the outside and inside also pieces of tores coming off.

Tire failed at low speed on dirt road due to rock pushing through steel belts in center of tire. Vehicle was less than 10% loaded (no extra weight in bed) (tiresize: 265 75 16)( dot number: tire size: 265 75 16 ).
Tires are cracking in between treads. Truck is only one year old. (tiresize: 265/75/r16)( dot number: tire size: 265/75/r16 ).
Tires chopping vibrating/ from the first 1000 miles was told by dealer this was normal. (tiresize: 245/75r16/)( dot number: tire size: 245/75r16/ ).
Tires are wearing prematurely in center. Dealer says truck is not out of alignment, it is the tires. Firestone says they are not part of the recall. They look like they have been spun, but this is not the case. They will not last 20,000 miles. They look like the rims may be too narrow to me. ( dot number: tire size: p26575r16 ).
Tire was kept by simpsonville chevy due to their reimbursement claim, against my request. Spoke to firestone dealer today who told me tires have no problems, and if I want tires replaced I pay, they are not resonsible. Have also rec'd run around from Chevrolet, brook lindhart offered reassurance but now I'm not sure, willing to help you in anyway possible including providing accounts by phone tape or testimony. I am tired of being jerked around for something that involves my the safety of my family. No one to date will give me any straight answers. I do also have saved copies of the emails from Chevrolet.

Despite repeated alignments and balancings, the tires vibrate, the vehicle pulls, and wet and snow performance is poor compared to other oe tires gm has used in the past, I. E. Goodyear. I have discussed this problem with national tire and battery, and they are of the opinion that all wilderness at tires are defective and should be recalled. I have found many other owners of chevys trucks will similar experiences, and there are many people on the internet that have documented blowouts. It is time to act and get wilderness at tires off the road with a complete recall. Thank you for investigating this matter. James cilecek, MD. Cjaimesw@hotmail. Com.

Truck pulled to right starting around 2,000 miles. Front end was realigned and tires rotated and rebalanced at 5,211 miles. Truck then pulled to left requiring constant pressure to right on steering wheel. Roated tires at 9,807. Truck then pulled to right. Returned to dealer. Dealer realigned again and rotated tires back. I was told it maybe a tire problem. I asked for tires to be replaced under bumper-to-bumper warranty. Dealer will not change out tires. Reported to Chevrolet on oct. 25, 2000. File #c02016717 is open. Called Chevrolet again on 11/22/00. Requested tires be replaced under warranty. Refused replacement by dealer and Chevrolet corporation.

Tire caused vehicle to vibrate real bad at high speeds 55-75 mph, dealer checked and said the tire was seperated or out of round, tire replaced by dealer, I do not feel real safe driving on these tires since the similar tires were recalled in a different size.

The two front tires had tread separations and both tires were out of round and could not be balanced. Ph.
Tires been balance two times and still vibrate highway speed. (dot number: vn11bab060).
On September 8, 2000, I purchased a new truck from ken dixon of waldorf, MD. After a day or so of driving, I noticed the vehicle shimmered. When I took it back to the dealer it had less than 500 miles on it. I was informed that GMC does not allow rebalancing of tires until 500 miles has been reached and was directed to firestone. Firestone balanced the tires, however the shimmering still occurs at highway speed. (dot number: none tiresize: lt2457516).
Front tires started to show noticeable wear, cause could have been that the front end was out of alignment. They rotated the back tires to front and realigned the front end. Same wear appeared at 5000 miles. Goodyear told me the 23575r16 must be 35lbs on all four tires. The label on the door says 28lbs front end and 35lbs on rear tires. Goodyear says the low inflation has caused permanent damage.
Truck vibrates at highway speed - dealer says its tires - goodyear says its truck.
While driving consumer heard noise, vehicle was taken to dealership and diagnosed with a bad tire on the front left side, resulting in wear on other tire, consumer took vehicle back to original dealership and firestone CO. For repairs, but did not receive repairs to tire, no specific tire information was given.
