During tire service on 051099 the mechanic reported tires were not safe due to cracks running from the onset of the tread at the tire side wall. Each crack was less than one quarter of an inch from the next crack. Each crack was about 3/4 to 1 inch in length. The mechanic showed me the cracks on each tire and he advised that within the near future the tires would fail. Further inquires from others with tire knowledge confirmed the first observation. I had the tires replaced. *ak( dot number: unknown tire size: p255/70r16 )
All rear sets of tires (3 to date) have become cupped accompanied by auto vibration. Ford dealerships have given blame for auto vibration and cupping of tires to tire manugacturer.
