I bought these tires and they only have a few thousand miles on them. They were 60,000 miles tires. With my alzheimer's husband under the care of hospice I went to run errands. I also recently bought 2 new front tires. When putting them on the told me they looked dry rotted and to take them back. Merchants tires has moved. It cost money to drive around trying to find where they moved to. Hospice only gives me 1 hr. Tell me how I am suppose to take care of this?.

Car not handling properly. Brakes squealing. Very poor gas mileage. Car riding lower in back. Sounded/felt like I was riding on a flat, tire pressure was down, but not badly (3 lbs). Took to mechanic for tuneup. Advised rear tire bad with flat spots. Purchased tires to be installed. When mechanic pulled tire/wheel to install, noticed rear spring was broken. Pulled tire/wheel from other side. It too, was broken. One break was new, the other older as ends were rusted over. There are rub marks and wear on the rubber covering over both springs as well as the coating coming off. I have the broken springs and have taken photos that show brakes and discoloration. Two (2) new tires, two (2) rear springs and alignment cost $614. 68. I frequently have my grandchildren with me. Either one or both of them could have been severely injured has the pieces come through the seats.

- while backing out of the driveway at 5 mph in the 2002 Mercury Sable the front passenger side tire went flat when the coil spring snapped , causing the sharp end of the spring to puncture the inside wall of the front tire. Failure mileage was at 74,236 miles.

The contact owns a 2001 Mercury Sable. While driving 55 mph, the passenger side rear coil spring snapped. By the time the contact was able to pull over, the tire was shredded. He replaced the spring assembly at the time of failure. He later noticed that the driver side rear spring had failed in the same place as the passenger side spring. Ford motor company stated that there is a recall for just the front springs, not the rear. The current mileage is 45,000 and failure mileage was 40,000. The consumer stated the problem was due to corrosion from salt. The consumer stated does not know why the salt corrosion affected the front spring but not the rear spring. Updated 07/31/07.

On Thursday, January 26th, I was driving home and had a flat on the front driver's side tire. I replaced the tire. Two weeks later on Friday, February 10 I had another flat (rear passenger) tire. Both of these tires were continental touring contact as p215 s60/16. My concern is whether or not there was a recall on these tires. I have 2 more left. I purchased the car from carmax in richmond, va in July 2005 (2002 Mercury Sable LS). Currently there are 39,981 miles on the car.

: the contact stated there were two problems with the vehicle. The first being the engine would not start intermittently. The engine would start if it was boosted. The vehicle was taken to the local independent repair shop for inspection. The repair personnel discovered the battery cables had separated from the terminals. The cables were repaired. The second was a transmission failure. The transmission was shifted into park and the vehicle lurched forward. After this incident, the vehicle would not go into any gear. The vehicle was towed to the local repair shop for inspection. The transmission was rebuilt and the vehicle drives normal. The front bumper fascia cracked. The left rear tire failed. Updated 03/03/06.

Tire worn out (general p205/65r15). Yh.

Tires out of balance.

The original equipment tires offer poor performance, especially in the rain. The car was so bad in the rain that my wife refused to drive the car. The oe tires have a treadwear rating of 520. I am afraid that the rubber is so hard (which will give long life) that grip was sacrificed. I changed the tires to continental contitouring contact ch95 which have a treadwear rating of 360. These tires are also original equipment on BMW, mercedes, Volvo, Audi among others. The car is much improved. Wet performance is much, much better and dry performance is improved also. My wife now feels safe driving the car. I don't know if this is really a defect, but I wanted you to know. Thanks. ( dot number: tire size: p215/60r16 ).

Please add details. Mr.

While driving engine collapsed due to rusting. This caused the frame to break. Also, when the engine collapsed the ball joints broke, causing the tires to disengage from the vehicle.
