First - tire not listed on this complaint form - Continental Contitrac OWL P255/65R17. Driving 60mph on 2-lane hwy - saw smoke & then front right tire popped. Truck pulled hard to right. Luckily there wasn't a ditch or barrier because truck probably would have rolled with possible injuries. Contacted Ford dealer because I had purchased tire warranty when truck (F150) was purchased new in Nov 2004. They said there was no recall on my year truck/tire P255/65R17 Contitrac. They said they would have to call insurer of warranty to see if covered. 3/4 of sidewall blew out! I will be going to Ford dealer 3/28/07.

Recall campaign number 05T022000; I have a 2004 F-150 with the Continental Contitrac tire on it original equipment. I have had to replace the tires after just 35000 miles of life. This is a 50000 mile tire. I feel this recall should be extended to the 2004 model year F-150 as well.

I had left my car for about five minutes. When I returned the tire was flat, and I noticed a slit in the sidewall. Later I filled the tire with air. The visible slit did not leak air, but another smaller crack did. There was no other damage to the tire.

The contact owns a 2004 Ford F150. The tire manufacturer is Continental tires, contritrac, size P255/65R17. It is a tubeless radial tire. At only 3000 miles the truck shook. They changed two tires because the tires were not good. On June 27, 2005 the rear driver's side tire blew out.

I purchased my 2004 F150 supercab 2X4 August 12 and paid my first payment to Ford motor credit September 11. It has 4500 miles on it and already needed four new tires! during the past month I have had seven (7) flats. Granted, I drive five miles (one way) down a dirt road sometimes twice a day, but that's exactly why I wanted a truck, I thought it could handle it. I showed the tires to the service department at the dealership where I purchased my truck, their response: It looks like somebody has been peeling out on gravel that gravel is really eating up this truck" "I'm sorry, we can't help you". actually, the tires look like somebody has been doing donuts on barbed wire or run through a meat tenderizer, chewed up. Rocks the size of english peas are cutting / puncturing these tires. Is anybody else having the same tire issue?
