Tire Tread/belt Problems of Ford Freestyle

The contact owns continental t24565r16 tires on a 2007 GMC envoy. She stated that the two frontal tires had excessive tread wear. Abnormal tread wear can lead to tread separation, which increased the risk of a tire blow out and a vehicle crash. The tires were replaced. The failure mileage was 26,600. The current mileage was 27,100.

Pirelli tires on 2006 Ford Freestyle ltd awd- excessive premature tire wear on inside portion of treads. Only 22,000 miles on vehicle and steel chords are protruding from tire and causing a serious safety issue. Dealer was the exclusive service provider on the vehicle but never indicated any excessive wear until tire warranty had expired. Stated cause was wheel toe or camber being too much. Service department cannot determine whether driving style or factory defect is to blame. However, for a tire rated to wear for approximately 50,000 miles to be worn out in normal driving conditions is unacceptable. Manufacturer claims this is not covered in any warranty. No prorating or compensation to correct the problem was offered.

Purchased 2005 Ford Freestyle new in late 2005. In early 2007, with approximately 17,000 (yes, only 17k) miles on the vehicle, dealership starting telling me that I'll need to be thinking about new tires in the next 1-2 oil changes (which is 3-6,000 miles). I now have approximately 24k miles and I do need new tires. These tires wore extremely prematurely. These are the same manufacturer of tires that I see are recalled on Ford's f150 (2005 Ford f-150 recall id from NHTSA: 05t022000) and continental is replacing them free of charge for those vehicle owners. I see no reason why continental shouldn't be held responsible for replacing these tires on the 2005 Ford Freestyle as well. The tires are continental 215-65-17. Last year, one of the tires also blew out and I had to replace it so now there are only 3 original tires on the vehicle. I'm logging today's date as the incident date since there's not a specific date but rather 2 years of premature tire wear. * updated 12/12/07 updated 12/12/07.

I own a 2005 Ford Freestyle which I bought brand new. It was originally equipped with continental contact touring tires, 215-65-17 - ct95. The four tires were completely worn out with 19,000 miles. Continental stated there was no tread life warranty for these tires. Ford insisted this was a problem to be solved by continental. I have read several complains about those tires over the internet. It seemed there was a design or quality problem with this product.
