Anyone else have this problem?
It must be a design flaw in the suspension of frame or something with the C5, but for some unknown reason, I go through back tires a whole lot faster then I do front tires. Is this normal for the C5? Does anyone else have this problem?

It's a flaw in the design of your feet. The right one is heavier than the left!

I do mostly hyper-miling in my car. Haven't noticed that.

I dunno know about the design side of things, but I know that I have a flaw in my right foot that causes my bank account to have a flaw with it's balance which in turn gives me new tires all the time.

I thought the bank account was related to a different part of the male anatomy... you know the one that has to do with females?

Well at least I know I am not the only one that has this problem...I think sometimes my breaks stick too though.

Very cool pics. I don't have this problem cuz I am cheap and lazy ie: don't wanna buy tires or have to clean rubber off the back of the car.

don't blame you on buying the tires...I am thinking about opening up my own tire plant, or at least buying stock in one.

It's normal and from what I'm told there's nothing that can be done about it. Something about the exceleration so just keep your foot on the gas.......
