TIRES ON MY F150 SHOW ABNORMAL WEAR ON THE OUTSIDE EDGES. FORD SAYS THIS IS DUE TO THE SUSPENSION. FORD DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. I CLAIM THAT THIS IS A SUSPENSION ISSUE, NOT A TIRE ISSUE. I HAVE SINCE BOUGHT A NEW CHECROLET TAHOE. COULD THIS ISSUE BE RELATED TO THE TIRE ISSUES ON CURRENT FORD SUV'S? I THINK THAT THE TIRES ARE NOT THE PROBLEM RATHER FORD SUPSPENSION IS THE PROBLEM THAT CAUSES ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR AND HEATING OF THE TIRES, ESP. IN TEXAS. THIS WEARS THE OUTER EDGES OF THE TIRES, EVENTUALLY CAUSING THE OUTER TREAD TO FAIL OR SEPERATE FROM THE TIRE. THIS IS A DEFINATE PROBLEM ON THE FORD F150 TRUCKS, AND I THINK IT APPLIES TO THE EXPLORER.*AK (TIRESIZE: P235R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235R15 )

WE HAVE EXPERIENCED FOUR CATASTROPHIC TIRE FAILURES IN LESS THAT ONE YEAR. ALL WERE ON 15-PASSENGER FORD VANS USED TO TRANSPORT STUDENTS. EACH FAILURE INVOLVED THE REAR TIRES. THERE WAS NO WARNING. THE TIRE EXPLODED SO VIOLENTLY THAT THE VAN SHOOK. THE TREAD CAME COMPLETELY OFF AND DESTROYED THE REAR HEATING. WE JUST NOTICED THAT A FIFTH TIRE HAD A LARGE BULGE INDICATING THAT A FAILURE WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. ABOUT 8 YEARS AGO ONE OF OUR VANS HAD A BLOWOUT AND ROLLED KILLING ONE CHEARLEADER AND SERIOUSLY INJURING SEVERAL MORE. I DO NOT KNOW IF THAT TIRE WAS A GOODYEAR WORKHORSE. WHAT CAN YOUR AGENCY TELL ME ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS BRAND OF TIRE? ARE THERE ANY LOAD E TIRES THAT YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED COMPLAINTS ABOUT?( DOT NUMBER: )
