Three of the wheels are worn out down the middle only. this is the second time this type of problem has occurred. i was told the alignment wasn't the cause and the chevrolet mechanics failed to give me an explanation for this problem.
Continental pro contact tires. i have had the car for 16 months and driven approximately 23,000 miles. i am now about to replace the 4th tire due to a sidewall separation and bulge, which if not replaced can easily become a blow out. these are the oem that come with the 2017 malibu premier and have a 40,000 mile warranty.
Purchased my vehicle new with two miles in 2016. in less than one month of purchase, i replace a tire because it popped. one year later i replaced a second tire because it developed a lump that was 2017. this year two more tires was replaced because of lumps in the tire. i have had several cars and never had this issue ever. actually, i have never had to replace a tire.
Within 7 months i have been through 3 sets of rear tires
