General Motors continues to deliver 2015 Corvettes C7 Z06 with cracked tires, buyers facing lengthy replacement times due to tire shortages

Hard to tell who is dumber, +Tadge Juechter claiming credit for creating a super turd equipped with summer only tires prone to cracking during winter months or +General Motors producing these cars in Bowling Green, KY during sub zero winter temperatures, rolling them out in the freezing weather and then passing them on to the dealers who in turn pass them on the buyers... Hmmm... sounds like a big cluster fuck...

This blog already pointed out the hypocrisy of GM warning the dealers about Michelin Cup 2 tires and about not moving the cars in low temperatures while doing the exact thing itself...  But... the cracking tires are not limited to the Z07 equipped with Cup 2 tires, the base Z06 Michelin Pilot Super Sports crack just as easily which makes the current cluster fuck growing to nth power.  Great job Juechter and GM. 

The problem of the cracking tires continues to grow and like with the base Stingrays paying the price for idiotic corporate decisions, the buyers of the Z06 cars are already facing lengthy waiting periods for the replacement tires that are in a very short supply due to the extent of this problem.

Considering this is the second year of this stupidity, chances are very good that absolutely nobody in GM will do anything about it as long as the seventh generation of Corvette is produced.

For all practical purposes, these cars can be driven only with the lows dipping into 40's, effectively eliminating between four to six months of driving for the buyers in the snow belt states.  Furthermore, only people with heated garages are suitable to buy these cars in those locations.  Hopefully, these numbnuts will stock up on plenty of car wax to pass the time...

The real question here is if Mary Barra is preparing the apologetic speech to soften the blow of upcoming lawsuits or is she still hoping for a miracle.

The real irony lies with the buyers from warmer states like California and Florida, they end up with these cracked tires as well and in fact, are more likely to sustain this damage due to lengthy open rail and hauler transport times, in addition to the time their cars spend in Bowling Green back lot.
