    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

    Tread came off, total failure, explosive consequences: two fender braces ripped off, the right rear fender damaged substantially, and the right rear taillight smashed from the tire tread hitting the inside if the fender well. Another tire just afterwards had to be replaced when because it was making a ...rump-rump sound. Suspect tire tread separation in both instances. *jb

    Tires were showing wear on outer edges at 4,000 miles. I rotated at that time. They continued to show wear. Had truck aligned at 12,000 but it really wasn't out of alignment. Ford says that is normal and we are turning too much and that is what is causing the wear. *jb
