| Description of the problem | Highway driving felt a vibration. Pulled over, found bulge in tread of stock ford michelin lt275/65 r20 on the right rear. Mileage 24,091. Replaced with same tire. Now, pulling toyhauler, felt same vibration again. Pulled over, left rear has a bulge. Mileage, 24,494. 403 miles later. Reluctantly replaced with same tire. Now, driving down the highway, felt the vibration again. Just as i got in the right lane, front passenger side tire blows. Mileage, 26,210. 1716 miles later. Seriously having doubts about these michelin tires ford uses on their super duty trucks. Extremely reluctant to replace with michelins again but now i have no choice except spend big bucks for a complete new set of tires. So this time i replace both front tires at the same time. Why there is no action on these tires is beyond me. Michelin ltx275/65 r20 tires need to be recalled now. |
