One problem related to tire has been reported for the 2013 Chevrolet Volt. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Tire problem

Failure Date: 01/14/2017

This note is supplemental to NHTSA #10940031 of 1/1/17. The tire that had just replaced the second failed tire also sustained damage deemed to be unacceptable to repair only about 200 miles after it was installed. Given 3 of these tires failed very prematurely over 7. 5k miles, never mind 2 in 200 miles, this suggested to me a possible atypical weakness in the design of these tires so I scrapped all 4 fuel max tires and replaced them with the far superior goodyear assurance tripletred tires. Having put 70k+/- miles on a set of previously owned tripletred tires without a single failure under virtually identical conditions to those I used the fuel max tires under I can state with confidence that they are much more damage resistant tires than the fuel max version of the assurance line in addition to having noticeably greater/safer traction in rain and snow.
