Description of the problem | Purchased four tires in dec of 2010 with 70 thousand miles tread out miles for my station wagon . 30 thousand miles later, the rear tires were gone. There were bald spots all over the inside drivers rear tire. The cords were beginning to show after six months and 30 thousand miles. The other rear tire on the passenger side was not any better. Alignment was fine. It was checked had another alignment done and purchased two new tires with forty thousand miles which were replaced 8 months later with no treading left. Ford has done everything except issue a recall. Ford dealer provided no real assistant. They must know, but acted as if never heard of this provide. They inspected the rear and took readings of tread etc, but did nothing else. Tire company said not a defect in the tires so we don't replace tires for free. Judging from all the other posts this is not a good situation. I was told to rotate tires often and check often. Sometimes you hear a thumping noise and the car drives heavy in wet conditions. |
