Less than 20,000 miles on my 2017 truck and only 1 of the tires is almost completely worn on the inside of the tread.  Mostly city driving conditions with no obvious sign of alignment issues.  Do I have any chance on getting it replaced under warranty through the dealer or the manufacturer?  Continental CrossContact.

There is no way they will do anything for you.

 

I'd get your alignment checked out and replace the worst two tires and stick them on the rear.

It's like you read my mind!  That's my current plan unless someone shares a miracle success story.  haha  I appreciate the reply.

Something is definitely out of spec. no warranty is going to help you.

 

Since one is already shot, I'd get as many miles out of them as you can before winter/rainy season, then re-align and buy 4 new tires. Your opportunity to pick better tires for your driving demands. Nobody is a fan of the OEM rubber.

 

Everything works better when you have 4 matching tires with equal tread depth. If you only replace 2 now, you're always going to be doing sets of 2 and never have an equal match.

GM does not warranty "wear" items, even under bumper to bumper. If you put all those miles on without a rotate, they will wear like that without having any alignment issue. My 33" x 12.5's will start to get a "choppy" inner lug wear as quick as 15,000km or about 9,500mi. if I don't rotate them. At $550+tax per tire for 20's in Canada, I make sure to do them every oil change. All 4 wear evenly this way and your never stuck saying "just do the two fronts for now" at the tire shop and chasing down matching tires. The wider the tire, the worse the effect seems to be, or if you start playing around with offsets and level kits as the camber and caster of the wheel path is set up to work with stock geometry.

WHen I bought my 2018 I nixed the offered tire and wheel warranty package and went to discount tire. I purchased a replacement certificate for each tire and got lifetime rotating and balancing. I think it was about $165 total. Thus if I have a road hazard event I am covered. Now for wear like what you have ? I think that will be replace tires and have the alignment checked.

Smart move.  When it’s time to replace stay with Discount Tire.  And, more specifically, buy Michelin tires.  I’m running Michelin Defender LTX tires.  Great tires....

      GM Hard Folding Tonneau by REV review

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
