Consumer Description

JUNE 2008 I PURCHASED A USED 2008 FORD ESCAPE. THE TIRES ARE THE SAME CONTINENTAL TIRES THAT WERE ON THERE WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THE INSIDES OF ALL 4 TIRES ARE WEARING FASTER THAN THE REST OF THE TREAD. SOUNDS LIKE I HAVE "MUD" TIRES/AGGRESSIVE TREAD. WHEN THE NOISE FIRST STARTED NOV.2008 I THOUGHT IT SOUNDED LIKE A WHEEL BEARING, BUT THOSE CHECKED OUT FINE. IT WASN'T UNTIL JULY 2009 THAT I FIGURED OUT IT WAS THE TIRES MAKING NOISE. I AM GUESSING IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES AS NO MECHANICAL PROBLEM CAN BE FOUND. *TR
