I live in conn. And as you know, we have the best corrosive road salt- so, in the past year, I, personally have found in the middle of the street full tires- all sizes with rims. So, as a past mechanic I have figured it out to be the spare tires underneath trucks, and SUVS that are held by a cable and are located in the rear so when they rust and fall off the car they do not realize or feel it coming off the vehicle, which could cause a crash to avoid

From discount tire co, I purchased 4 new tires on February 5, 2018 today, tread is now below the legal for safety with only 23,909 miles on the tire. I went to the same dealer location that put the tires on( livingston, Texas) to receive terms of the certificate or warranty they did not want to honor either warranty for replacement without me needing to pay an additional $400. I am wanting to return my tires since obviously this is either a defective tire or one of below average quality.
Two discovery A/T had tire separation, one while driving and one was discovered as vehicle was parked. The failures occurred or discovered within a three week period. Both tires remained intact and no crash occurred. One tire was partially rebated by local dealer but have not heard anything yet on second tire.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-150 equipped with federal couragia A/T tires, size P330/12.5/R20 (na). The contact stated that the tread wore prematurely and the wires were visible. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate vehicle failure mileage was 90,000. The tire failure mileage was 3,000.
I purchase a new 2010 Ford F-150xlt in April, 2010. The truck came with Goodyear Wrangler sra tires. Two of the tires lost a great deal of tread between 16500 and 18000 miles, necessitating all four tires be replaced. I contacted my Ford dealer and Goodyear and the tires have been replaced. I was told the Goodyear Wrangler sra tires are backordered and had to purchase Goodyear Wrangler adventure all season tires. The technicians at the Ford dealership advised me they have seen excessive wear on many other of the Wrangler sra tires. I received a prorated allowance for the new tires; but do tires only last 18000 miles now. My previous F-150 tires had over 60000 miles on them and had more tread than my 2010 F-150. There has obviously been many problems with this tire and I do not feel I should have had to pay anything for the replacement tires.

The truck had 14.000 miles.there warranty book says they will pro-rate the tires after 12,000 miles.I do not understand how they can not go by the warranty.

Tires were replaced by dealer for replacement pirelli scorpion tires - alternate tire option request was declined. These were replaced under Ford's warranty. The replacement pirelli scorpion tires started to fail again at 30,000 miles on the truck ( only 20,000 on the tires).

The day after purchasing a new 2010 F-150 Ford truck this past November I experienced a terrible vibration at around 70 mph. I stopped at the nearest Ford dealer which was frankfort ky and they checked the balance then said there was an drive shaft alignment repair needed but would take several hours. Because I was traveling and would not be at my home location for a week I called the dealer in North Carolina where it was purchased, after a bit of checking around they told me via phone that the drive shaft was not the issue. A week later I took the truck to the original dealer and they balanced the tires and give it back to me. I had a 400 mile trip to make and within the first 50 miles the shake was back in the truck. I called the dealer then returned the truck back to them 3 days later. The service manager took a ride with me and said it felt like flat spots on the tires. The kept the truck overnight and did another balance job while checking the drive shaft, brakes, transmission and rotors. When I got the truck back this time the shaking started at 45 mph and continued to around 65 mph. I was on another trip and called the dealer to relay the bad news. I returned the truck back to the dealer and they replaced all four tires with pirelli 20 inch scorpion tires like the ones that came on it. I offered to pay the difference in price to install another brand of tire but the dealer would not have it. After taking the truck on a 2000 mile trip the shaking has returned just as bad as the day I purchased the truck. The vehicle is 4 months old and has 16000 miles on it, I have complained since the day it was purchased and now its nearing half of the warranty life and the issue is not resolved. The truck shakes so bad you will get an upset stomach after a few hours of riding in it.
