#1 of 44 14 inch tire replacement woes by rustywp Feb 28, 2007 (9:57 am)
I hit a big pothole on Sunday in my Aveo HB (bought it June 21st and has 20,000 on it now! I replaced the flat tire and bent rim, with the spare. After only 30 miles, the spare went flat.   The dealer says there's no road hazard warranty on either the original tire or the spare, and according to the Hankook booklet, there's no road hazard coverage from them either!   On top of that, here's a car that's been out for 4 years and according to my dealer, no one here in Dayton, OH has the tires and they had to special order them- same thing for the spare and spare rim! A 3-5 day wait to get another spare!   Starting this past Friday, my dealer, Frank Z Chevy, added road hazard coverage with oil changes (HUH?). Guess I'd better get an oil change right away if I'm going to protect my tires!   So, if you're getting an Aveo- drive it to a tire center and get your money's worth!   Rusty Replies to this message: woodsmanmn (Feb 28, 2007 10:25 am) juje2003 (Feb 17, 2008 5:10 am) flaaveo (Feb 17, 2008 5:45 pm)

Replying to: rustywp (Feb 28, 2007 9:57 am) I hava a 2005 aveo hatchback. From what I learned about the tires before buying, I planned to upgrade the tires with a set of michelins. Even after the tire upgrade, wheel balance was still a problem. My tire dealer included free balancing with the tire purchase, but balancing once a month to keep the vibration in control was rediculous. Tire dealer said the metal used to make the wheels was soft, so they couldn't keep the balance. So I bought a new set of custom wheels, and spent more than I needed to, but the style looks great. Since then the car drives great. Cruises the freeway smooth and straight. I wish I didn't have to spend the extra money, but it was worth it.

Replying to: mikejpen (Apr 18, 2007 8:43 am) There should be a label inside the driver's side door frame of your Aveo letting you know what the recommended tire pressure is.

Replying to: pf_flyer (Apr 18, 2007 9:21 am) There isn't anything on the door to tell you what the pressure should be or in the manuel, It says 44psi on the tire - could that be right? Please help me out on this. thanks. Replies to this message: pf_flyer (Jul 17, 2007 10:54 am) grace4ever (Jul 18, 2007 12:55 pm)

Replying to: grace4ever (Jul 17, 2007 10:34 am) The number on the tire is a maximum recommended infaltion pressure for the tire. That's not the recommendation for that tire on your vehicle.   The tire pressure recommendations should be on a label in the door frame opening, or the back end of the door. I've heard of some cars having the label in the glove box, but I've only ever seen them inside the driver's side door frame of vehicles I've needed them for. Pretty much a standard practice. When you open your driver's side door, look at the back edge of the door frame opening. It's the same edge where the door latches into the frame of the car. You might call it the door post too.   This image isn't from an Aveo, but the label will look something like this:     Replies to this message: grace4ever (Jul 18, 2007 12:55 pm)

Replying to: pf_flyer (Jul 17, 2007 10:54 am) I'll look again but did not see it anywhere on ANY door frame. I have the 5 door hatchback so I'll look on another door frame. thanks - BYW, do you know what the tire pressure should be? It has 30 lbs in there now. thanks again.
#9 of 44 Just a guess by pf_flyer HOST Jul 18, 2007 (1:55 pm)
In that 30-32 pound range is typical, but that's just a guess. The actual recommended pressure is going to be on that sticker along with the proper sized tires to use. I've looked everywhere I can think of online to try and find the actual number, but no dice. Replies to this message: grace4ever (Jul 19, 2007 5:14 am)

Replying to: pf_flyer (Jul 18, 2007 1:55 pm) Thank you. I looked down by the floor board when I opened the door and it was there. Your information in the email really helped me out. thanks again.
