I have experienced 2 blowouts on this set of tires. On inspection, the service rep (for the auto dealer, marshall bros.) found a third tire that was about to separate in much the same way. I just thought it was time to buy new tires. I went to my local Goodyear dealer to replace the old tires. He told me they were still in very good shape, I did not need new tires. He believed that the one that had blown out was defective. What concerns me most were the comments made by both the Lincoln service rep & the independent Goodyear dealer. Thay both stated that the Expedition, Navigator & Explorer are extremely rough on tires. The Lincoln service representative showed me an Expedition that he was changing out all the tires- it was a 2001 Expedition with less than 30,000 miles on the tires. This concerns me...in addition, marshall bros. Lincoln-Mercury would not honor the warranty on the tires. I was told I would have to deal with the manufacturer. The Continental mfr. Is very hard to locate. I'm still trying. I have possession of the most recent 2 failed tires @ home. The first blow-out was @ approximately 55mph when the car had 12,000 miles on it. Thank you. P.S. the owner of the vehicle is my father. He gave me the vehicle to drive this past December. He will verify or sign this report if needed.

I experience what I believe was a tread separation in the tire while traveling on I 15 in Arizona, on the way to las vegas. As the tire noise and vibration increased, I began to let off the gas, preparing to slow the vehicle down, when the tire blew out, and then coasted to a stop along the curved interstate highway. Upon inspection of the tire, it was noted that both sidewalls had separated from the tread, and the vehicle had run a short distance on the aluminum wheel. That Friday afternoon we called Continental's customer service number, but they were closed until Monday. The Ford dealer in grand junction advised us to see a linclondealer in las vegas. The desert Lincoln dealer 702-257-0687 (russ schoenbeck) said that we would have to talk to a Continental tire dealer because Lincoln did not warranty the tires on the 2000 Navigator, but did now warrant the tires on the 2001 Navigator. He said that he has seen three other 17 inch tire failures on the Navigator, one with massive tread speration that damaged the customers sheetmetal. The customer, a broker, convinced Continental to repair the sheet metal on his vehicle. I had the tire replaced at discount tire in las vegas 702-451-1453 and had to pay full price for a new tire because I would not let discount tire have the damaged tire, in case I had to prove the faulty tire caused the wheel to my vehicle. I have the tire in my possession. If you feel that you would like to inspect it, please get in touch with me propmtly. I did report the tire problem to Ford Motor Company1-800-521-4140 expressing my concerns that the tire is dangerous and should be recalled. She said that Ford does not warrant the tires. I said that the tire is not fit for use on the vehicle, and there is an issue with "fitness for purpose" when Ford sold me the vehicle with the tires installed (dot number: Ad9C448090 tiresize: P255/75R17)
