2005 Ford F-150 Tires Problems

“Purchased a 2005 Ford f150 supercab truck on july 22, 2007 and have had to replace the tires 4 times within the last year due to rapid wear of the front tires. I have taken it to repair shops and had the front end and suspension check by 3 different tech's and they have all said that everything is to specs. What can I do to have this problem fixed.”

“Michelin ltx at2 tires. Excessive cracking. Tires with 30,000 miles on them and well over one-half tread remaining have developed widespread sidewall cracks. Cracks are more than cosmetic, you can actually feel raised bumps if you run your hand over them. The cracks seem severe enough that I am concerned about tire failures, particularly at highway speeds. Internet search shows many similar complaints, and evidence that michelin has been quietly offering discounted replacements to those who complain directly to them. I recently filed a complaint on their website but have not heard back. …”

“I have a 2005 Ford f150 leased in july of 2005. I have experienced two incidences where a tire has gone flat in a matter of seconds while highway driving at speeds near 60 MPH.

The second incident occurred on july 17, 2006. While driving at highway speed, near 65 MPH, my right rear tire went flat within 5 seconds. …”

“General ameritrac tr tires, size p255/70/17. I had to replace all 4 original equipment tires on my 05 Ford F-150 4x4 after only 22,000 miles because the tread was separating from the tires to the point you could see the steel belts. Before that I had numerous punctures and repairs from things as light as a stick. I had nothing but troubles from these tires since day one and can't figure out why Ford would put such a poor quality tires on there vehicles. I believe both general tire and Ford owe me some kind of reimbursement for my trouble, time, and new tires. …”
