WHEELS
I TRIED TO ROTATE MY TIRES. I COULD NOT GET THE REAR WHEELS OFF MY TRUCK. I CALLED THE DEALER, CURRIE MOTORS, AND THEY SAID THEY USE A RUBBER MALLET TO BEAT THE WHEELS OFF. I DID THIS WITH MUCH DIFFICULTY. I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET THE WHEEL OFF IF I HAD BEEN ON THE ROAD AND HAD A FLAT TIRE. I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD A MALLET WITH ME, AND I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD THE NECESSARY JACK STANDS TO ADEQUETLY SUPPORT THE VEHICLE WHILE I LAY UNDERNEATH IT AND "BEAT" THE WHEELS OFF. THE ID OF BOTH REAR WHEELS WERE GALLED AFTER I FINALLY GOT THEM OFF. THE FIT/TOLERANCE OF THE WHEEL TO ROTOR INTERFACE IS NOT CORRECT. THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH GETTING THE FRONT WHEELS OFF. I CONTACTED FORD THROUGH THEIR OWNER CONNECTION, BUT THE RESPONSE I RECEIVED WAS JUST A FORM LETTER. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS MOST PEOPLE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE WHILE ON THE ROAD . *AK

TIRES:SIDEWALL
BOTH MY RIGHT AND LEFT FRONT TIRES HAVE DEVELOPED SIDEWALL FAILURES-ONE AT UNDER 12000 MILES AND ONE AT UNDER 15000 MILES. TIRES HAVE DEVELOPED LARGE SIDEWALL BUBBLES OR CONVEXITIES OF AROUND 3 INCHES IN DIAMETER AND 1 INCH IN HEIGHT. FORD DOES NOT WARRANTY THE TIRES SO I'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH GENERAL TIRE. A PERSON AT THE 800 PHONE NUMBER FOR GENERAL TIRE MENTIONED THAT THIS COULD BE TWO ISOLATED DEFECTS, PERHAPS A BAD BATCH, OR PERHAPS THE TIRE SELECTED BY FORD MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH MY CONCERNS, AS THE TRUCK HAS A DIESEL MOTOR WHICH IS QUITE HEAVY, AND BOTH FRONT TIRES DEVELOPED THE SAME PROBLEM EARLY IN THE TIRES' TREADWEAR. ONE TIRE DEALER SAID HE'S SEEN IT BEFORE, SO I AM CONCERNED THAT THE TIRE CANNOT STAND UP TOT HE WEIGHT OF THE DIESEL ENGINE. FORD SAYS TO CONTACT GENERAL TIRE, AND GENERAL TIRE WILL ONLY WARRANTY THE INDIVIDUAL TIRE AS IT FAILS. NOBODY SEEMS TO HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WARRANTING THAT THE TIRE IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE VEHICLE. THIS MAY BE TWO RARE AND ISOLATED INCIDENCES, BUT I FEEL THAT 100% FRONT TIRE FAILURE IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT WARRANTS LOOKING INTO. I'D BE INTERESTED IN KNOWING WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THESE TIRES ARE REPLACED ON FORD DIESEL-POWERED TRUCKS, BUT ONLY GENERAL TIRE KNOWS THE ANSWER.*AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT235/85R1 )
