2013 Chevrolet Volt Tires Problems

“These tires are shown as being the original equipment tires GM put on their volts. In my experience they are severely below normal durability. My VOLT's fl tire was replaced at 17k miles (slow sidewall leak) followed by the rr failing at 24k miles (catastrophic). Despite the usual pothole and road debris encounters my previous set of pirelli p4 tires ran 115k+ miles failure free and the michelins I had before them lasted 64k miles without a failure. …”

“I've leased my 2013 VOLT for 1 1/2 years. July 3rd I got 2 flat tires (both driver side, rear and front). I bought 2 new tires and the service at chevy put them on the 2 front wheels.

“Tire pressure dose not hold air to recommended tire pressure. Passenger tire seem to control pressure on all four tires. Once tire pressure is inflated to recommended pressure. All four tires deflate and inflated to uneven pressure after driving. Vehicle was seen by Terry Cullen Johnsboro, Ga. They said the passenger rim need to be replaced 800.00. But I ask about the rubber oring around the valve stem replace, they said no oring on the valve stem. I ask about a valve replaced they said no a new tire is the best they could do. My gas mileage dropped to 28 miles a gal from 40. …”
