Description of the problem | Ford focus station wagon with 40,000 miles on tires. Tires worn completely down to bare metal on both rear tires. I drove into a parking lot to shop and heard hissing noise. Saw damaged tires changed leaking tire to spare tire. Wear on inside of rear tires only. Local tire dealer looked at alignment and commented that focus tires frequently blow due to "tow" irregularities in alignment. Difficult to adjust tow to manufacturer's specifications without excessive wear on rear tires. I replaced tires. I was advised to rotate tires frequently and have alignment checked regularly. |
