Consumer Description

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TIRES CUPPING. HAD IT REALIGNED AROUND 20,000 MILES BECAUSE FORD ONLY COVERS WHEEL ALIGNMENT UP TO 12,000 MILES. I PURCHASED NEW TIRES AROUND 35,000 MILES, HAD IT REALIGNED AGAIN AROUND 36,000 MILES. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO COSTCO WHERE I BOUGHT THE NEW BRIDGESTONE TIRES FOR TIRE ROTATION AND THEY SAID THE TIRES WERE CUPPING !! SAME PROBLEM, ALIGNMENT DON'T HELP. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, I SEE MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FORD FOCUS. *TR
