Tire problem #1

I cannot get the correct size tires for my 2004 Mercury Marauder any more bfg was the original maker of the tires and now they are on hod for manufacturer one knows when they will be made again and think this is a safety hazard because I am and many others are forced to run the wrong size tires on my car.

Tire problem #2

Normal wear and tear on rear bfgoodrich tires. Replacement tires are not available from the oem manufacturer. Unique tire size for the rear tires on my car. Only one company (bfgoodrich) makes this size. Have not been available for some time. Received violation for bald rear tires and no replacements are available. Was told by manufacturer, they would not be available until June 2009, maybe ?????.

Tire problem #3

Bf goodrich is the only manufacturer of tires in the size my car requires (2004 Mercury Marauder). They are on a national backorder until may/June 2009. This leads to two dangerous options: running on tires that are bald or replacing with incorrect size. Both can lead to accidents and fatalities. Please require them to start production immediately. Many other drives of this car have the same issue.
