This is incredibly common among high-end luxury cars. The better handling that results from staggered wheel sizes is considered a luxury. The owner is assumed to be willing to shoulder a higher maintenance cost burden in return for a superior driving experience.
None of what you describe is unique to Cadillac -- this is what it is to own a luxury automobile. If it is not worth the price, don't buy one.
- chiph 10y agoThe Lexus SUVs that they have owned didn't do this. The tires for them were an odd size and usually had to be ordered, but all four wheels had the same size tire -- with standard (non-directional) tread. They still faced the "must replace all four" issue because of the full-time 4WD system, but at least they could be rotated to get full life out of them. Which may be one reason why Lexus unexpectedly has a good total cost of ownership. BTW, the Lexii had far fewer squeaks and rattles after 6 years than the Cadillac did, and had a much quieter ride overall.
