Consumer Description

I OWN A 2000 FORD TAURUS WAGON SE WITH OEM TOURING CONTACT AS - P215/60R16 - 94T TIRES. THE FORD'S B-COLUMN STICKER LISTS THE CORRECT TIRE INFLATION AS 30 PSI, BOTH FRONT AND REAR. THE AMERICAN TIRE DISTRIBUTOR 2003 TIRE GUIDE, PUBLISHED BY BENNETT GARFIELD LISTS THE CORRECT PRESSURE FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL AS 33 PSI. I HAVE SUFFERED FROM SEVERE CUPPING THAT I BELIEVE TO BE RELATED TO FOLLOWING, THE FORD INFLATION SPECIFICATION. I AM FORCED TO REPLACE MY TIRES WITH ONLY 36,000 MILES AFTER AT LEAST 12,000 MILES OF CHATTER FROM THE DAMAGED TREADS. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE USING THESE TIRES. *JB
