I noticed the outer edge tire wear in front, and had tires rotated after finding pressures (all) set at30psi in compliance with with door frame label. At 44,000 I picked up a construction screw in the left rear tire, as was told it was not repairable due to side wall wear. Center tread was 3/16" or more. I did not have the luxury of waiting for a dealers tire replacement and drove home on the spare on a Sunday, replacing all the Goodyear tires with Michelin, with alignment front and rear.
A subsequent oil change at an independent service facility found the rear main leaking. At a visit to the local chevy dealer where car was purchased, I was told TIRE WEAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. The 30psi label is "just to make the car ride a little better". Sounds like a perfect logic loop, that convinces me to make life a little harder for the GM group.
I will certainly edit this complaint following return of the Impala.
