| I have a Saturn Relay (05), after the first 8000 miles and 1 rotation of my tires my rear tires were cupping and wearing the inside of the tires. So after some complaining of the noise etc, Saturn Dealership put 2 new tires on. 12000 miles later same thing, tires on the rear cupping and making noise. I have them balanced and rotated every 6-8000 miles, have it aligned 1x a year. At about 25000 miles another 2 tires go on. I started to question the tires (Integrity) and the vechicle itself. A new van should not go through tires. 43000 guess what, rear tires cupping and wearing the inside. Saturn says alignment is to specs. Called 800 number and set up ticket, asked if anyone else is having this problem. Finally took to an autobody shop for second opinion. They put it on the alignment machine, said it was to Saturn specs, but that the rear camber looked alittle too much for a van. -1.1 and -1.2. This causes it to run on the inside tread. Told Saturn this, its is for better handleing. 4 sets of tires is not better handleing. So my 05 with 53,000 miles is going through tires. Anyone else have this issue with their Saturn Relay/Uplander sisters? | |

Replying to: bsrice (Feb 25, 2008 1:56 pm) In 2006, the GM vans went to a six-lug design, up from 5 lugs in 2005. I wonder if 2006-2008 owners are having tire problems, or if the new wheels addressed it? One good thing is that we're on the original front and rear brake pads at 50K miles, although I have had the rotors resurfaced twice. In May, the Van will be 3 years old so I'll give a detailed update then. In general, most problems were resolved within the first year under warranty.
