5:30 pm 4/12/21 was driving home from umpiring a baseball game, drove threw intersection when suddenly I was thrown into passenger seat of my truck, the next thing I know im stopped in front of a tree with a telephone pole on the hood of my truck with no idea what or how this happened. I was lucky no one was coming the opposite direction on the 2 lane road cause I wouldn't have been able to control truck even at 40mph, another 5min and I would have been on the interstate going 65mph and surely I'd be dead. After a week I was able to go out and look at my truck thats when I noticed the flat front passenger tire was flat and the inner ring of the rim came off. I had an accident investigator look at it , I hired a lawyer and a metallurgical expert to examine rim. There was no warning the rims were still new.

My factory tires, bf goodrich long trail t/a, on my ford f-150 king ranch bought new in 2006 lasted only 21,428 miles. They gave me a lousy $236. And it cost me $708.to replace all 4. Now, 18,270 miles later there are less the 4/32 left on the tread. On a recent oil change, a dealer would not rotate my tires because of the ware. Now I am being told - sorry no warranty left! - I am livid! Can anything be done?

I purchased a new 2006 ford f150 from a local ford dealer in huntsville, tx. After picking up the vehicle while driving home it was very an apparent there was a problem with the tires, the vehicle had an extreme vibration. I returned to the dealer, reported the problem and requested them to address it, their service department employee explained that the truck had set on the car lot for some time and the tires get flat spots and this is the problem, she told me to drive the vehicle and the problem would go away. This vehicle was just driven over 160 miles (from austin, texas to huntsville, texas, as it was a dealer swap, in order to get a vehicle with the specs I had requested), before I took possession of the vehicle. I had driven the vehicle over 100 miles before returning to the dealer to request this problem be corrected, after talking to their service person, I put more miles on the vehicle, the vibration still exist, went back to the huntsville ford dealer service dept, again requested the rotate and balance the tires, left the vehicle for repairs, my ride home was not much better, still a vibration, late took the vehicle back to the dealer, they told me to drive it and it will get better, so I drove it 34,000 miles, no change in the vibration, he only change was a very uneven ware in the tires. Went back to the dealer where they came up with all kinds of reasons why they are not liable. I still have these tires in the shed behind my home, removed and replaced them with bf goodrich tires; this resolved the problem of vibration. Now I would like a new set of tires to replace these defective continental tires and have someone look into the ford dealers unsafe practice.

Steering wheel shimmies at 50-70mph. Have had tires rotated, tires replaced, front end aligned, brake rotors replaced still the shimmy is there and have been told that the big tires 18"rims 235/75 may partially been the problem. What? Why would ford use a tire that is too big? And cause the steering wheel to shake and shimmy. Have had an independent shop look at truck and can find nothing wrong, but I have never had a vehicle have such a noticeable shimmy in the steering wheel. Very unsettling feeling.
