One of my complaints to the dealer (where my car has been for two weeks now) from the beginning is a vibration that starts around 75MPH. Today they tell me that two of the wheels are bent and the tires are old. I am asking for details like how much run out, both radial and lateral, is there and just how old are the tires.
Does anyone know the factory spec on permissible run out?
The car has 30k miles on it and the tires have what appears to be new tread depth. Without knowing for sure I would guess the tread life on these tires to be 15-20k. Is that about right? There is no way these tires are half worn, so I am guessing it is the third set of tires and were put on recently. Unless someone had some very old stock that they put on these tires should not be that old. Otherwise there is a tire problem and should be replaced under warranty (prorated).
The comment was made that the vibration will be there until I buy another set of tires. Just another example of my poor dealer. I am about to go to war with Cadillac.
