My parents have owned three Lincoln Navigators with 17 in conti trac continental tires from the factory. My mothers 98 Navigator had a tire tread separate. My fathers 99 Navigator had a tire tread separate also. Now his 2000 Navigator with 17 in conti trac tires is developing the same "tire thumping" as the other two vehicles did. A separation usually follows. We have replaced one tire, replaced the entire set on a second vehicle and are awaiting a more complete separation on the latest vehicle. . . . . . . These 17 inch tires are junk. I know the government has recalled the 16 in, tires on Navigators of the same brand but the 17 inch ones are just as bad. . . I have power of attorney over both my aging parents and felt compelled to write you and let you know of this dangerous situation. . . . Sincerely, rodger d. Connor. (tiresize: 17 inch).
