TIRES - ALL 4 HANOOK TIRES DOT # 5MNC 1A H (0216) 255/50/R20 TREADS HAVE BEEN CHIPPING AND PEELING UP RESULTING IN UNSAFE CONDITIONS AND EXCESSIVE WEAR. THESE TIRES ARE CLEARLY PROBLEMATIC TIRES AND COMPLETELY WORN OUT AT 20,000 MILES. MANUFACTURER IS AWARE IF THIS RESULTING FROM NEW COMPOUNDS (MATERIALS) USED IN MANUFACTURING. HIGH SPEED BLOWOUTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED FOR THIS PARTICULAR TIRE YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS TIRE DESPITE ITS DEFECTS AND SAFETY CONCERNS. I FIRST NOTICED IT ON THE TWO FRONT TIRES. IT IS SHOCKING THAT FORD WOULD USE THESE TIRES.
