Who knows why it changed mid production. They got a better deal on the other ones? There were other cars that used that size? They're basically interchangeable anyways. If you have the 215s it should be no problem at all. My tires are really close to the strut too.

Yeah the space inbetween the strut and the tire doesn't matter, as long as its not touching. When the wheel moves up and down, the bottom of the strut moves in unison so that little gap size never changes.

so i checked vin out mine was produced in june so thats why went to few local shops all said its ok to minimal to matter in size makes me feel better but. these tires really blow. i cant believe everyone said these were so good on the web. the handle great but i feel like im driving on rocks. i thought bad balance and pressure but rebalanced still garbage. i tried lowering tire pressure still garbage. i can try raising pressure but im assuming that will make it worse.

Exactly what tire did you buy?

irondiezl3 · 02-10-2009, 10:46 PM

general altimax hp. they suck. 313 9 out of 10 reviews online. 2 local tire shops here dunn tire being one of them said its their best seller and customers have nothing but good things to say. i had them rebalanced checked for bad belts. wow i believe someone here said do not buy them i should have listened those 313 people online are completely insane and obviousley never had a great tire.

Dude... You bought tires from a no name online retailer that doesn't even answer the phone... How do you know those tires couldn't be defective or maybe even a chinese counterfeit? Theres nothing wrong with those brand and model of tires, theres something wrong with either YOUR set of tires or something wrong with your car.

irondiezl3 · 02-11-2009, 12:05 AM

had the car inspected today for any issues. shop said car is perfect. ive tried every psi from 28-41 no difference. im so pist. how do you get a bad set of tires that are brand new. there no way im overreacting right? i mean vibrating and rough ride cant be normal. its not extreme but my other tires goodyear integrity which on paper is inferior in everyway was like driving on silk compared to these. idk ive never had a performance oriented tire before maybe i just dont know thats how its supose to be. or maybe the 21560 does matter compared to 20565?

The new size is lower profile and has wider tread than the old one. Its going to have a sportier feel.

i called place i bought them from they swear its from poor balancing says they have sold thousands of these tires and only had one complaint on the comfort ride. he said there are different types of balancing and if you go the cheap route thats all it takes.

CactusWill · 02-11-2009, 05:46 PM

Maybe thats the explanation then. It has to be something, because everyone knows these are good tires.

irondiezl3 · 02-11-2009, 08:25 PM

just went to dunn tire. one of best around here. 3 of out 4 were severe out of balance. 32 dollars later guess what. o yes now its 3 times worse then is was before. can you believe this shit. im ready to flip. i called general they said you have a 45 day warranty through us. bring it to any local retailer they have to replace all four even if nothing is wrong with them. i said ok i found a authorized retailer you know what they said basically go f*ck myself. isnt this a great story the saga continues...........................

CactusWill · 02-11-2009, 08:57 PM

These are directional tires, so make so that they are all mounted in the right direction.

irondiezl3 · 02-16-2009, 05:26 PM

lol ok local shop says its because the rotors on my car have warped spot causing me to think the cars vibrating. dont get that my other set of tires were on last week no vibrating. his response was whoever mounted them must have over torqued the wheels on? wtf is he talking about is that normal or a whole bunch of bs?

CactusWill · 02-16-2009, 09:30 PM

That is true, but it usually takes longer to happen than just a day or two. Although I'm not really sure how vibration pertains to your situation, if all you're saying is just that the tires ride bad.

irondiezl3 · 02-17-2009, 12:59 PM

new tires in mail lets see if it changes when they come. went to get second opinion on brakes brought me in shop we looked over everything with a fine tooth comb he doesnt believe me they are 2 years old he said they all look brand new never saw anything like it.
