I hae an 05 AVeo 5 door. The original Hankooks wore out on the front at 12 K miles. I replaced with high-dollar Goodyears, and had to go from the original 185/60 size to 185/65, as the original tire size wasn't so common. At 34K miles, the front tires needed replacement. I had 2 independent tire service centers tell that Aveos are horrible on front tire wear. From my experience, I believe it. I have 5 other vehicles in my stable, and none of then exhibited anything like this.
 
My suggestion...if you buy pricey tires, get a good mileage guarantee from someplace you trust...there's a good chance you will need after 20K miles....Good luck!

New Tires At The Dealer OR Someplace Else? by flaaveo

Does anyone else have a tire offer at their Chevy Dealer? I have one at mine, they have a set of tires picked out for like the Aveo/Cobalt..Malibu/Impala...then for trucks...Corvette, etc... A set of 4 for a set price. Like for the Aveo or Cobalt, they are like 4 tires installed for $135.00. I looked them over, they aren't made by that crummy Kumho company that made the rotten tires on my Aevo. They are made by I think Fuzion?
 
They have a 45K mile warranty on them, have a very deep all season tread. The traction, temp, and mileage 'range' are all rated as 'A'. You know they rate them as A,B,C etc...the lower the letter, the worse the tire.
 
Well anyway. Has anyone taken their dealer up on this offer, IF anyone else has seen this offer at their dealer? I was thinking of getting them from them, to replace these balding Kumho tires. Only 7K miles and they are nearly bald. I have posted MANY posts about the lack of quality of these tires. Anyway. Is this a good deal? Or what? I figure if the dealer puts them on, if there is any problem, then I kind of have GM behind me. Like that is a big help! But...I hear from some posts on here, that there seems to be some people with problems with vibration after they buy new tires. I was going to go to Tire Kingdom or Sears or someplace and get a set of 4 and get the 'super fast' computerized spin done, you know, like a step up on the 'regular' spin mounting. Some tire shops charge more to mount them if they do a 'super perfect' job! Yes...at least here in Fla....they rip us of that way to! You can get a regular mounting, or get a step up with a 'super accurate fast spin' and make it absolutely perfect or something like that, and of course the road warranty, and stem lube..hahahaha...etc...
 
But these dealer tires look good, and the price is great for 4 new tires, and it has a mileage warranty that is more than twice than these Kumho tires have. The original tires only have a 20K mile warranty on them! And they aren't even super low profile or sticky! Just low quality tires!
Has anyone heard of these Fuzion tires? Am I the only one with this offer at their dealer? I know I have heard that I should get no lower than a 'H' rated tire...as far as speed goes. I guess 'H' is a fairly fast speed tire, but not a super speed tire, just a good speed for this car. I think like 120mph is its top side. Like I ever go over 60mph anyway!
 
Has anyone found a good tire, not to expensive, that is treating you good? The main thing for me is LOW road noise and then HIGH wet traction. So I go for the 'A' or 'AA' rating for traction, and temp.,and mileage. I had my mind set on GoodYears or Michelins, but the price is rather high for a sub compact! So..has anyone found a good tire and had a good experience replacing their tires? Or has anyone tried this dealer offer? Maybe it is only here in Fla. But they have big banners to sell them, that look like 'corporate made' selling points...so I think it must be at all dealers. But I could be wrong. So, I'm asking...any good tires out there...or is this a good deal and anyone has tried it?

Go to this site and read reviews on Fuzion tires. You didn't specify which tire model it was, but there are many different tires revied on this site. Fuzion tires are manufactured by Bridgestone/Firestone.
 
I wouldn't spend a great amount of $ on Aveo tires, as the Aveo is really hard on front tire wear-out.

Good Luck!

Tried to go to that site. My browser says it couldnt find it. and since I own an Aveo, I am looking for the size that fits the Aveo The standard size. I'll do a hunt for tires and see what pops up....maybe someone has tried this offer from their dealer..

I hit a huge pothole too. Except 2 of my rims were bent. So instead of buying new aveo rims, I got some MSW's for the same price

I bought my last tires for my compact truck at Discount tires ( discounttires.com ) if you have them in your area. I paid $28 per tire and they are warranteed for 35,000 miles for these basic tires supposedly made by Cooper. The are much better than my original Uniroyals or my previous Pep Boys Futura's. Great traction in rain or snow, quiet, great investment for the price. They also have free rotation and other options.

Hmmmm...very nice looking rims....if I thought I would keep my Aveo,long enough,I would buy rims. But I never keep a car more than 2-3 years. And this one is going to be traded in when the warranty ends. Especially if something mechanical goes wrong with it before the warranty ends. So it is just tires for me.

Only $28 a tire? and probably the same amount to mount them? Yes I have a Discount Tires very near me. I think Coopers are good tires, aren't they? They have a sale right now on a set of 4 tires for any subcompact car...for $78! They dont say what company makes them..but of course that is for the smallest 13in tire they carry. So I guess for our Aveo size..it is closer to the price you say you paid. I got to get something. The front ones are getting to bald...I know they wear out fast. but at 7K miles, they shouldnt look like these do. And since I only drive in the city, it is a lot for turns, so THEY say..that eats up the tires. I am not wasting more money on another rotation of crummy tires. I'll go get a set of new ones..that might last till i trade in, or sell and buy my next Ranger.

I have not heard of that offer at any of the Chevy Dealers around here (Orlando, FL) but I would be willing to try. Are your Chevy dealers near Orlando?
I have had good luck with the cheap tires that came with the car as well. I usually buy my tires at Sams and they have always been good.
