Se v6, tires: when I inflate the tires to the pressure recommended by ford on the door sticker, the result is rapid tire wear on the outsides of the tires (under inflated). When I inflate the tires according to the tire manufacturers recommendation on the sidewall, the tires do not wear out on the outside (under inflated), nor in the middle (over inflated). Ford recommends a tire pressure that is 9 psi lower than the tire manufacturer recommends. Apparently they did not learn from firestone that the tires can fail due to overheating when they are under inflated, resulting in blow outs at freeway speed and deaths due to the resulting accidents. Nor did they change their ways as a result of damage awards for lawsuits due to under inflated firestone tire failures. Perhaps the damage awards were too small.

We own a 2007 ford fusion with apxm. 40 k miles. It was sold with michelin tires that I believe to be defected and dangerous. We have just replace the third out of four tires. Each tire was blown out the sidewall. I have contacted ford and michelin and gotten no help with the replacement of these tire from either. I have read on other website complaints about these same tires. Something needs to be done before somebody dies from this.

In feb 2008 I bought a new 2007 ford fusion. The problem I'm having is with michelin tires (225/50r17). Three of the four tires have developed bubbles and had to be replaced within the past year. The first was july 19, 2009, the second was july 2, 2010 and the third was august 4, 2010. I contacted michelin who gave me the run-around but no solution. I took the last tire to a michelin dealer and was told that michelin wouldn't give me anything because an authorized dealer didn't replace the tire. How can I go around finding a particular dealer when I'm setting on the interstate with a flat tire? I went to the first place I found who could replace the tire. Each time I was out of town when the failure happened, the first two times I was ever out of state so it's not like being at home where you can look in the yellow pages or surf the net and find an authorized dealer. The authorized dealer that I contacted after the 3rd failure said it was due to impact from potholes. Duh! It's summertime. Potholes have been repaired. I feel that michelin (and representatives) have failed me as a consumer. They claim to stand behind their product and that's exactly what they do - stand behind because they sure don't step up to the plate and handle the problem. I feel that I had 4 defective tires either manufacturer's defect or dry rot or something. I have never in the history of driving (40+ yrs) have I replaced a tire for a bubble in it and now 3 in less than a year????? No more michelin for me.

Our 20 year old son was driving home from college when his left front tire blew out. He was able to maintain control and get to the side of the road and call roadside assistance. The rim was damaged in the process. After ordering a new rim and wheel, I was going to drive it to the dealership when we noticed that the left rear tire was now flat. Once we were able to get enough air in it to drive to the dealership, we did. At the dealership it was discovered that all the valve stems were either cracked or leaking, so they all had to be replaced. We were unaware that the 2007 fords had faulty valve stems, had we known this, we would have replaced them for safety concerns. We were lucky, only one valve stem broke while our son was driving and he maintained control, the 2nd valve stem lost air while parked in our drive. This could have been much worse and I shudder to think of what might have happened.

We have a 2007 ford fusion. Since january 1st we have had 4 tire failures, or so we thought. The problem seems to be faulty chinese valve stems. Each time. It was an immediate loss of air.

Our problems began on jan. 1st and continued until may 23rd,approx. One every 6 weeks!
