I've been running the Cooper's and I like them a lot. Affordable, great traction up here in Canada. I run tons of highway clicks on them and they last pretty good. Just my 2 worthless Canadian pennies.
I had a set on mine as well, but I too got a bubble on the outside tirewall. I also went on ratings and loved the tires, but didn't have the change and had a 10 hr drive the next day so I went with Canadian Tire El cheapo's until I can afford another set. Wonder if it is a manufacturing defect.
Just curious, has anyone tried getting the areas that are flaking off wrapped with vinyl? Mine is starting to flake around the passenger window so I was thinking a black vinyl would look cool to cover it. Thoughts?

I haven't had issues YET with my 6.2L with 180000 km on it, but I am watching this closely.
Yeah, I had to go through the fender too on my 14 Silverado. Remove the air-box on that side. IT was a bitch on my larger than average hands and wrists, but I used a video from YouTube as my guide. YouTube is my go to now for lots of repairs... (other than this site, of course).
I had an issue with my 14 and the headliner and carpet being wet on the drivers side. I had just had the windshield replaced so I took it back and the tech had it for the afternoon and noticed a few things. He said it was quite common with chevys: the hose coming off the drip tray on the sunroof had come loose and was leaking from there. It had been a heavy slush/snow when I first noticed it so as it melted it had filled up the drip tray. Not sure if that applies but something to check maybe?
