I have a 2012 Chevy Impala LS that came equipped with Good Year integrity tires 225/60/16.
The tires were wearing on the edges while the middle portion of the tread seemed to be wearing much slower. One dealer recommended an alignment but when I took it in to another dealer to have it done they showed me a GM service bulletin saying that the premature edge wear on the Impalas equipped with these tires was characteristic of the tires and not an alignment problem. The tech recommended not aligning the vehicle and suggested keeping up with tire rotations. I rotate tires with each oil change, approximately every 3-4K miles.
I have about 30K on the car now and the tires have just about reached their limit. I don't want to have the same problem and am looking for a replacement tire. One local dealer sells Federals and another sells Cooper. Can anyone recommend a good replacement tire? Any thoughts on the chances of the same tire wear occurring on different tires?
