New tires for my ss sc

SO i have 13500 miles on my car and i already need new tires. so i took my car to my dealer and gm is going to pay for my new tire. i very happy now cause i really didnt want to pay for tires this soon. Also i was wondering if any one else was having tire problems on there ss sc?

why the hell are they paying for new tires on your car? Did you thrash them? I must admit I don't care for the Pirelli's on the SS/SC but they at least lasted me to 26,000 miles.

I bought new nittos yesterday and have them installed. The best tires I've ever dealt with personally. They grip really nice and hook instantly.

I believe that they do wear a littler quick for the price of the tire. I have 15,500 mi on my car and the fronts are almost bald ,ofcourse I do drive my car pretty hard. The dealership will not replace a tire that's worn down that is like asking them to replace your brake pads for free...its a disposable item.

put 13500 kms on mine before winter and the fronts are gone. These Pirelli's have the worst treadware.

I replaced mine with Falken RT615s at 12,000 miles and my stock Pirellis still have 50-60% tread left... What the heck are you guys doin ?
