Sidewall · Tires
I had a catostrophic sidewall failure of a goodyear wrangler duratrac tire (mdw8 b11v 4110) that had only 2140 miles on it. The tire failed at 35 mph but had to be driven about 100 feet to remove it safely from the roadway. I have a picture of the result if needed. Had this happened on the interstate the result would have been significant.

Tires · Tread/Belt
Very bad tread wear on front outside edge. Looked like alignment problem since tires still have 80% of tread. Tech at alignment shop said the alignment was ok and showed me where the tread had started to separate from the casing. Tech advised to replace tires very soon. Tire size not on recall list so it looks like i am stuck with replacing a bum set of tires

A vibration at 38-42. Delaer has rotated and balanced tires twice in 5600 miles and told me i need to balance and rotate more often because my tires are cupping. The vibration has not gone away. The dealer then stated that i needed to get ford to replace my general tires with michelins. I am still waiting for ford to tell the dealer what to do.*ak
