What does the wear looks like on the 305 compared to the 285?

Surprised ABS didn't have an issue with that... strange.

I dont think the height difference is that much to damage the differential, but I'll mention it to the dealer.

So i went to the dealer this morning and told them about the problem. They said they have never seen this happen before and were somewhat "doubtful" of it coming like that from the factory. They went ahead and ordered me a new tire and should be here by Tuesday, so not bad. Still dont know if I'll be able to keep the 305 yet.

I just found these 2 pictures taken the day I bought the car. The 305 tire is seen on it. Taking this to the dealer next week to shut them up.

I had no idea the 2015 1LE's had an external water bottle holder......pretty cool!

Lol, yeah I saw that as soon as I walked up to it.

Water bottle holder?!!! Darn I've been using mine to cook my breakfast on the way to work... I thought it was an external grill... I had it all wrong. :-)

Bring your water to a good temp and add the winnie!

So the dealer replaced the tire without any problems and without screwing up the wheel, not a mark. Too bad they didn't let me keep the tire they replaced. Supposedly it has to be sent back to GM.
