Description of the problem | Found tire separation on 3 of 4 original tires. Separation was located approx 1/2 from rim and approx 1. 5 inches long. On two of the tires the separation was located on the outside and one had the separation located on the inside of the tire. This was the one that concerned me more than the others because most people don't look on the inside of thier tires. These seperations were all noticed when tires where being rotated and balanced. Tires were shown to the local goodyear dealer who stated that they had never seen a tire seperate at that area of the tire and they would replace at a pro-rated price. I took the truck to the local ford dealer and the dealership replace all three tires at no cost. The truck is still under warranty. *ak |
