Own a ford escape 2008 with 43,000 miles and original continental tires. At my last oil change i requested a tire rotation an found out that one tire was defective (failure of one steel band) and was causing significant noise and vibration at 60 mph and above. Tire thread gage indicated 10/32". It seems the tire has failed to perform when significant life was still available. *tr

The tires appear to be in excellent condition. The 1st incident occurred on 7/26/10, when the right front tire blew. The tire technician who examined and replaced the tire (with a comparable continental tire) said that the tire…

The stock tires provided with the 2008 ford escape models have defective valve stems. The cracked rubber can either cause a blow out or slow leak. On my escape, 3 out of 4 valve stems were defective and showing multiple cracks. This is on a "courtesy recall?". The dealership i had my vehicle serviced at recommended replacement. Since the nhtsa has not proactively recalled these tires, knowing full well there were…

June 2008 i purchased a used 2008 ford escape. The tires are the same continental tires that were on there when i bought it. The insides of all 4 tires are wearing faster than the rest of the tread. Sounds like i have "mud" tires/aggressive tread. When the noise first started nov.2008 i thought it sounded like a wheel bearing, but those checked out fine. It wasn't until july 2009 that i figured out it was the tires…

The tire (front driver side) on my 2008 ford escape hybrid (which i purchased in june 2007) keeps losing air pressure and i get a warning light on my dash about every two to three weeks. I recently read about the valve stem recall but i never received a recall notice from ford. I am getting very concerned about this particular issue as well as the bigger issue of using sub-standard parts in american cars. I…

I have been having an ongoing problem with my 2008 ford escape. I have read online of many complaints as well with the same problem. I have a really loud sound like i am driving an airplane and it is coming from the tires. I have rotated, aligned, and balanced my tires and the noise is still there. The tires have also started to cup. I was told by brake check that i had bad shocks, but i did a few tests to be sure…

First of all, i cannot say with any certainty weather the issue is with the automobile or the factory original tires. I can only suspect it is with the automobile based on 30 years of experience of owning and operating automobiles. 1. Excessively loud noise from the factory original tires. 2. After 19,000 miles all 4 factory original tires are wearing down on the inside of the tread only. 3. I was offered a new set…
