In March 2008, I purchased 4 advanta SUV tires P265/70R17 for my vehicle, about 3 months later one tire had an air bubble on the side and I had to replace it. I don't travel that much just to and from work. This August 2009, I let my mom use my truck and the two rear tires went, one blew out while the other rear one began to shred. On Saturday October 10 while traveling on the highway the front passenger tire blew out. I noticed there is a recall for P265/70R16 and I need to know who I need to contact regarding the tires that have. This is a very serious and dangerous situation, my family and I am are very blessed that we were not hurt in theses incidents.

Faulty tire complaint. All four tires were affected.

- Chicago, IL, USA

Tires have been seperating for some time now. Original tires have been discontinued and are on nationwide backorder. Contacted dealer reported to be ordered. Have been on order for 3 weeks now. My husband has found a different brand of tires to fit the vehicle but the dealer and Ford insist on the exact same brand and make of tires. The brand is no longer available. The ride quality on the vehicle is beyond horrible, but so far no accident has occured. Would like to be reimbursed for having to purchase my own tires for a vehicle with a warranty.
