Consumer Description

THE SIDEWALL/TREAD OF ONE OF MY FRONT TIRES LOOKED AS IF IT WERE IN THE EARLY STAGES OF TREAD SEPARATION AS INDICATED BY A CRACK OR LINEAR INDICATION THAT EXTENDED ALMOST 75% AROUND THE PERIMETER WHERE THE SIDEWALL MET THE TREAD AREA. THERE WERE ALSO NUMEROUS OTHER AREAS OF NOTABLE SEPARATION THAT APPEARED TO BE A RESULT OF THE RUBBER MATERIAL BEING TOO DRY PERHAPS. I CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT AND REFERRED ME TO THIS SITE. BEFORE FAILURE OCCURRED WITH MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE, I INSTALLED ALL FOUR NEW TIRES, MODEL MICHELIN LTX M/S THAT I PURCHASED FROM COSCO. THIS IS A 2001 FORD EXCURSION WITH APPROX 30,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. UNFORTUNATES, I WASN'T REALLY THINKING AT THE TIME AND DID NOT HAVE THE TECHNICIANS AT COSCO SAVE THE OLD TIRES FOR ME. *NLM
