2010 manufacturer screw up with tires - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have had my 2010 Camaro a little over two years now, and have religiously taken it in to the dealer for maintenance and for a few problems. Today the tech asked if I had ever had the tires rotated anywhere? I answered no.. He then said the tires are on the car wrong! the front wheels are on the back and vice versa. This is a manufacturer error! does anyone know if Chevy will have to replace these expensive tires on their dime? My car is still under bumper to bumper warranty?

They probably rotated them wrong. The rims are staggered. I don't see why chevy would have to replace the tires.

ma24boys72 · 01-04-2012, 12:34 AM

They have not been rotated yet, was to be done at next scheduled maintenance, it is how they came on the car. checked specs on car.. dealership is looking into it.

You owned the car for two years and didn't notice this?

ma24boys72 · 01-04-2012, 01:20 AM

nope, I have never looked at the tire size. I expected getting a new car from factory it would be put together right, even the tech guys at the chevy dealer missed it the last two years until today.

I highly doubt that GM did it but it wouldn't be the first mistake to be made at the plant
I doubt you'll have to replace them though :s I don't think the wear patterns would have been any different

ma24boys72 · 01-04-2012, 01:37 AM

well dont know who else it would be, My car has never been anywhere else... it is currently at dealership, till they figure something out

Yeah my 1lt has same tires size all around, my guess he had stock 20 with 20x8, 20x9

I have had the dealer rotate my tires (on my DD) during the oil change without asking me to do so and there was no comment on the invoice either. I caught them rotating my tires when I had done it myself just a few days earlier and I told them to put them back on the way I had them.

So they can correct this without buying you new tires.
Why do you think you need new tires?

Just put them back they way they should be and you will be fine.....after all, if you have had your car for 2 years, and still have plenty of tread left.....you must not drive your car that many miles a year.
