I had uneven wear on my tires that were the original tires from the factory. I bought the car new from the Ford dealer. I was told that the tire specs and brand were not the ideal type for this kind of vehicle. No warranty coverage given. I did buy Michelin at OWL and they have held up to present 2014 at 106250 miles.

I own a 2004 Ford Sport Trac XLT with Goodyear Wrangler rt/S tires (M+S P255/70R16). I have the tires rotated every 3 to 5 thousand miles. Problem is the tires keep cupping out, which creates a less safe driving environment and causes excessive road noise. I've been told by the local tire store that this is a systemic problem with the vehicle and buying new tires will not correct it. How should I proceed to have this issue corrected? note, the wheels are within alignment specifications. Please advise...thanks.

2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac ran into guardrail twice on two different occasions during inclement weather. While driving 70 km a cross wind blew the rear of the truck causing the vehicle to hit a guardrail. Another time the consumer was driving 55 km with the 4WD on when the consumer lost control an hit a guardrail on the passenger side. When the passenger side wheel grabbed the slush about 1 inch thick, the consumer released off of the accelerator, slightly corrected the steering to bring the vehicle back but the vehicle kept going to the right, hit three posts and then came back.
