2007 Ford Five Hundred tires are cracking, local tire dealer says it shouldn't be a problem. . . . Safety is not their first concern I guess. He says the pirelli p6 tires that are oem only have 50,000 mile rating to them, I have 37,000 miles and they are rotting. Tires keep going low.
I have a 2007 Ford Five Hundred with continental p215-60r17 tires. On Dec 14, 2007, after my tires had been rotated at town east Ford in mesquite texas, I noticed a large bubble in the right front tire along the seam of the tire. Said tire id# dot code a3kt 3mt 3906. The tires had approx 21,250 miles at the time. They have been rotated at least 4 times since I purchased the car and I can show that the tire inflation is checked regularly when I get the oil changed. Town east Ford told me the tire was not covered under warranty as it was considered road hazard. Originally I was told it was due to potholes, then later that it was due to a nail that caused low tire pressure. I was never informed of a nail, nor did they show me the damage. I contend the tire is faulty; I had to replace the tire at my own cost. I am currently sending correspondence to town east Ford, continental tire, NHTSA, and Ford motor company.
