	Tires went bad on this car very fast. i took the car back to the dealer and they even agreed they should not have been going bald. i really did not think anything about it until i took the car elsewhere for an oil change and they told me to check into my warranty. the dealer not even rotated my tired the other place did it, i had to prove that i had them rotated which i did. suzuki did not care. they said the tires are 24,000 mile tires!! there has got to be a reason tires go at 15000 miles this is when we notice that we were going to need tires. watch them we always though goodyear/dunlop was a decent tire.
