#8 of 52 Re: Removing tires [steine13] by novascotia Nov 19, 2005 (12:20 pm)
Replying to: steine13 (Nov 19, 2005 12:03 pm) I'll try your solution. Just seems odd because the wheels do "wiggle" and using a rubber mallet didn't seem to help either ........ Replies to this message: novascotia (Nov 19, 2005 2:03 pm)

#10 of 52 New Snow Tires, Real Report Later by k2qo Dec 27, 2005 (9:06 am)
Hi Gang,   FWIW, just got my 1-yr old AWD new winter rubber. The GY RS-A's are real crap in the snow and slick as a bowling ball on ice. The new tires are Semperit Ice Grip 2's from Dunn Tire here in WNY. With so few reports on real snow tires, I'll do a mini review once we actually get some snow here again in the Buffalo, NY area.   Best regards, Mark
#11 of 52 Tire pressure question 32lbs ? by hal517 Feb 02, 2006 (2:00 pm)
Have 2006 vibe , wife had it in for service dealer lowered the air pressure from 40 lbs to 32 lbs.. what are most people running this seems low ,
#12 of 52 32 psi is the correct pressure by beliver Feb 02, 2006 (2:47 pm)
hal: geez, 40psi would rattle your teeth, rock hard ride. The stupid dealer that preped the car forgot to bleed off the extra pressure they put in the tyres when they lash them dowm on the transporter. Kinda makes you wonder what ELSE they forgot to do doesen't it ? No harm done.   believer
#13 of 52 New tires already??!! by nichul37 Jul 25, 2005 (10:02 am)
I bought an '05 Vibe at the end of September 2004. Since then, I have put on almost 29,000 miles (140 mile a day RT commute). Because I drive so much, I am sure to have the oil changed every 3-4K and then tires rotated every 6-8K (every other oil change). I went to have the tires rotated at 27K and they told me they cannot rotate them and I needed 4 new tires. WHAT!!?? It seems crazy that I need 4 new tires when they don't even have 30K on them.   Has anyone else come across this tire wear?

Replying to: nichul37 (Jul 25, 2005 10:02 am) ...with the original Continentals, yes. They were pathetic. I switched to the H rated Firestone Dayton Daytonas. They are terrific: great treadwear and grip. Replies to this message: nichul37 (Jul 27, 2005 8:43 am) sforeman (Nov 15, 2007 8:18 am)

Replying to: nichul37 (Jul 25, 2005 10:02 am) I had my 04 Vibe serviced: change oil & flush cooling, also told them to rotate tires mileage was 28,227. They came out and said we can't rotate your tires the back tires are wearing on the inside. Go to tire dealer and get 4 wheel alingment. Then he talked to me again and said we will order the shim kit, call you and do the alignment. That was 26 days and 1000 miles ago,now tires are very worn. I sent dealer an e-mail today. saw one other post Re: wear on back tires are there any more out there. So y'all say dealer won't stand behind the car?
#17 of 52 Re: Plus 1 tires..... [mikey00] by galloway1520 Oct 16, 2006 (9:23 pm)
Replying to: mikey00 (Sep 24, 2005 4:53 pm) Have a question for those in the know: What would be the performance/ safety issues with putting 205-60-R16 on the original rims [205-55-R16 now]? I know the diameter would increase, but by how much? Any & all help/ suggestions welcome. Replies to this message: lostwrench (Oct 22, 2006 4:16 pm)
