I tried to pull to the right to see what was causing it when the right front tire seemed to explode. I was able to pull off the highway to the right without losing control of the truck and got out to see what had happened. I found the right front passenger tire still inflated but without any tread…

    Recall campaign number 05t022000; i have a 2004 f-150 with the continental contitrac tire on it original equipment. I have had to replace the tires after just 35000 miles of life. This is a 50000 mile tire. I feel this recall should be extended to the 2004 model year f-150 as well. *jb

    Defective b. F goodrich long trail ta tires (265r60 18) ford f150 lariat appear to have a design defect causing a very harsh ride & shuddering upon stopping. When attempting to stop in the rain, the shuddering caused the anti lock brake module to malfunction and resulted in loss of control of the vehicle. Ford is aware of the tire defect (a letter was received) yet has declined to replace the tires. *nm

    I had left my car for about five minutes. When i returned the tire was flat, and i noticed a slit in the sidewall. Later i filled the tire with air. The visible slit did not leak air, but another smaller crack did. There was no other damage to the tire. *jb

    The front steering on my 2004 ford f-150 truck will start to wobble after slowing down from highway travel. It acts like the wheels are out of balance. However, i just had the tires rotated and balanced because of this, but it did not help. The vehicle has 23,000 miles. Another person i know is experiencing the same problems with his 2004 ford f-150 with 17,000 miles. *jb
