2012 FORD F-150 Tires Problems

275/60/20 tire size. Driving home the other night started noticing my truck felt wobbly. Thought it was just the road until the truck started violently shaking at around 60mph. VIOLENTLY shaking. Pulled off immediately and looked at the front, sides, rear end, etc. Checked the tires, rear passenger side was stolen in 1 spot, and around that spot in a very isolated area the tire was completely bald and had a large lump in it. Other 3 tires seem ok right now. Contacted manufacturer who directed me to fill out a form on their website to "try for a replacement.". Can't find receipts from purchase so that's no good. Took to local mechanic/tire shop who stated that the "tread separated from the tire.". Separation is approximately 1 foot long and 2/3 of the tire width. Bald spot runs along this lump/separation.

TIRE TREAD BELT SHIFTING DEFORMING, OUT OF ROUND ON CAPITOL H/T TIRES. SIZE LT275/65R18 123/120R 10PR PLEASE BE ADVISED YOU DO NOT HAVE THE CORRECT TIRE MODEL STYLE LISTED. PLEASE SEE ABOVE FOR CORRECT INFORMATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150 EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES, SIZE P275/65R/18 (NA). WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE.

I WAS TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY 2 IN WASHINGTON STATE, AT 60 MPH WHEN MY FORD F150 FRONT PASSENGER TIRE BLEW OUT CAUSING THE TRUCK TO PULL TOWARD THE DITCH. NO ONE WAS HURT. I CHANGED MY TIRE AND CONTACTED THE TIRE COMPANY WHERE THE WARRANTY WOULD BE HONORED. I HAD 30,000 MILES ON A 2 YEAR OLD TRUCK. I THOUGHT SOMETHING WOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT BUT NOTHING WAS. I AM CONCERN ABOUT MY REMAINING TIRES I HAVE ON MY TRUCK.

PURCHASED A NEW 2012 F150 WITH MICHELIN LTX A/T2 TIRES 12000 MILES AND I NOTICED THAT THEY WERE DRY ROT BETWEEN THE TREAD LUGS TOOK BACK TO DEALER HAD THEM REPLACED NOW AROUND 12000 MI. LATER HAVE SAME PROBLEM DRY ROT CRACKING BETWEEN LUGS AND ON SIDEWALL I BELIEVE THIS TIRE HAS A PROBLEM AND MICHELIN NEEDS TO RECALL THEM BEFORE SOME INNOCENT PERSON IS INJURED OR KILLED. HOW MANY TIMES ARE WE GOING TO REPLACE SOMETHING DEFECTIVE WITH SOMETHING DEFECTIVE. *JS

ON MAY 23, 2012 WE PURCHASED A NEW FORD F-150 FROM BEECHMONT FORD IN CINCINNATI AND TOOK TITLE IN THE STATE OF KENTUCKY. THE TRUCK WAS FITTED WITH 4 PIRELLI SCORPION TIRES. WITHIN THE FIRST 3000 MILES WE HAD 3 SIDEWALL TIRE FAILURES. WITH THE FIRST SIDE WALL FAILURE WE THOUGHT IT WAS JUST BAD LUCK AND HAD TO BUY ANOTHER MATCHING TIRE FOR OVER $200.00. WE SUBSEQUENTLY HAD 2 MORE SIDEWALL FAILURES AND WERE FORCED TO BUY A FULL SET OF NEW TIRES AT A COST OF OVER $1300.00 PIRELLI HAS CONSISTENTLY DENIED AND BLAME AND REFUSED ANY FORM OF REIMBURSEMENT. WHEN MY WIFE RETURNED THE FIRST TIRE TO BEECHMONT FORD, SHE WAS APPROACHED BY ANOTHER CUSTOMER WHO WAS THERE WITH A PIRELLI NEW SIDEWALL TIRE FAILURE. A MONTH OR SO LATER, I WAS HAVING THE OIL CHANGED ON THE TRUCK AND I WAS TELLING THE OIL CREW ABOUT...
