Best tires for the Chevrolet Traverse

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A USED 2009 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE FROM THE LOCAL GLENN FORD DEALERSHIP AROUND 02/2012. AT THE TIME OF OUR PURCHASE, GLENN FORD "REPAIRED" THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN A FEW DAYS AFTER WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK. SINCE THEN AND UP UNTIL NOW, WE HAVE REPLACED A SENSOR AND HAD THE SENSORS RELEARNED AND REPROGRAMMED AT LEAST 8 TIMES. THE LIGHT IS STILL ON, DESPITE NUMEROUS DEALERSHIP TECHNICIANS TELLING US THAT THE SENSORS ARE ALL FUNCTIONAL. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE TWO BABIES SO I AM VERY CONCERNED.

THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT WONT GO OUT. THIS LIGHT CAME ON AND FLASHED AND THEN WENT OFF. WE HAD THE DEALER CHECK IT, BUT THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS NORMAL. IT CAME ON AGAIN A MONTH LATER, BUT WENT OFF. IT WAS CHECKED BY DEALER AGAIN. A FEW DAYS LATER IT CAME BACK ON AND STAYED ON. THE DEALER KEEPS SAYING ITS A QUIRK IN THE SYSTEM FOR THE CAR, BUT THIS SOUNDS LIKE BS. IT MAY BE A FAILED SENSOR BUT IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACE OR CORRECTED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE LACK OF ADEQUATE PRESSURE IN ALL FOUR TIRES CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE SYSTEM NO LONGER TELLS YOU WHICH TIRE IS THE ISSUE.

MY DAUGHTER AND SON IN LAW HAD PURCHASED GOOD YEAR TIRES 8 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE LESS THAN 8,000 MILES ON THEM WHEN ONE TIRE SIDE WALL ON THE TIRE FAILED WHEN THEY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY WERE TOLD THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A POT HOLE. THE FAILURE WAS THE SIDEWALL AND THEREFORE IN OUR MINDS THAT PARTICULAR TIRE SIDEWALL HAD TO BE DEFECTIVE. THEY WERE TOLD THAT THEY HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW TIRE. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. GOODYEAR SHOULD RECOGNIZE THAT THE FAILURE COULD HAVE TAKEN PLACE ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS WHERE MY DAUGHTER, SON IN LAW AND GRAND CHILDREN COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME JUSTIFICATION TO THEM OTHER THAN SOME MECHANIC TELLING THEM IT WAS DUE TO A POT HOLE..

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR FORTERA HL TIRES, SIZE: P255/65R18 109S. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE DISPLAYED ACROSS THE MESSAGE BOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRE HAD DRY ROTTED AND HAD CRACKS. THE TECHNICIAN FILLED THE TIRE WITH AIR; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WITH ALL FOUR TIRES. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15T002000 (TIRES); HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000 AND THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.
