Description of the problem | I have a 2010 ford f-150. It has pirelli tires on it. When i took it in to get inspected they found all four of the the tires were getting weather checked. The truck is used to haul a atv and sometimes a trailer. I do not believe the tires are safe. I took it back to the ford dealer where i bought it and they said they would see what they could do and call me back. I never heard back from them for a few weeks so i called them back. They said they would check into it and call me back. This went on for about 4 months never calling me back when i called them. After i e-mailed ford the sevice manager called me back and asked me to bring the truck in. I did and he looked at the tires and said he could not do anything. I e-mailed ford again and they said they would not do anything because the truck had more than 12'000 miles on it. The truck had 14. 000 miles. There warranty book says they will pro-rate the tires after 12,000 miles. I do not understand how they can not go by the warranty. I think something needs to be done about these tires being recalled. I understand this is a common problem with these tires and nobody is backing them up. Weather checked tires on trucks that are carring extra weight does not seem to me to be good for anybody on the road. The tires are pirelli scorpion atr. |
