| Just placed new tires on my car as the rear rt., was wearing badly on the outside. 23000 miles on 2007. suzuki mckinney, stated they were aware that this happens, and they no longer had equipment to do alignments. had another shop align, and they could not get the car within recommended specs. spoke to suzuki, and manager that was aware of problems, no longer works there, new acting manager has never heard of problem. in internet searches, appears that it is rampant with the 2006-2007 models, which appears to be mechanical. *tr | |||

| I have a 2007 grand vitara, it had yokohama geolander g92 255/70 r16 tires. the back tires wore out by 13000 miles. i went to the dealer and they stated i was over inflating the tires. the problems is that the tsp light kept coming on so i would put air in them and it would go off. i had a warranty on these tires but no one would honor it because i was told i put to much air in my tires. i argued with them stating that the tsp light kept coming on. even the front tires have worn significantly and has some buldging and i never put air in those ones. i ended up buying 2 new tires, not yokohama! even after i changed the tires the tsp light kept coming on and my car was in the shop 3 times after for the same, tsp light coming on. *tr | |||
