“While shopping for Ford fusion hybrids, I notice they all displayed abnormal tire wear, specifically on the inside edge of the rear tires. After purchasing a 2017 fusion hybrid I have seen a significant tire wear issue on the rear inside edge of my tires causing premature tire replacement. I have had the wheel alignment checked and was told it was good. this seems to be an issue with this model. For someone that does not inspect or maintain tires this could lead to a tire blow out at speed. I have had put 3 sets of tires on the vehicle over the last 3 years.”
