| Description of the problem | Premature wear/cupping of tires on my newly purchased 2005 matrix. Per tire manufacturer, it's a mechanical defect, not a tire problem. So, far taken to dealer twice on the same issue. Both times was told it was the tires. I will be taking car in again now to have them check proper alignment. Awaiting response from evaluation at this point. |
