2001 Ford Mustang Tires & Wheels Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 FORD MUSTANG EQUIPPED WITH HANKOOK TIRES, TIRE LINE: VENTUS V2 EVO2, TIRE SIZE: 275/35/R18, DOT NUMBER: 5MRKYBH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED IN MARCH OF 2020 AND INSTALLED IN APRIL OF 2020. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 3,000 MILES, THE TIRES SHOWED EXCESSIVE UNEVEN TREAD WEAR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED THE STATE INSPECTION DUE TO THE TREAD WEAR FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED THAT THE TIRES BE INSPECTED BY AN AUTHORIZED HANKOOK DISTRIBUTOR. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE EXCESSIVE TREAD WEAR WAS NOT DUE TO A TIRE MANUFACTURING DEFECT BUT AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED AND REMAINED ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I PURCHASED 2 BRAND-NEW BF GOODRICH TRACTION T/A TIRES - 225/55/R16 95H TIRES ON OR ABOUT 09/0109. 3 DAYS LATER, WITH APPROXIMATELY 300 MILES ON THESE TIRES, I EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT ON ONE OF THEM DUE TO SIDEWALL FAILURE. TIRE WAS REPLACED WITH SAME TIRE AND 2ND TIRE WAS INSPECTED AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS FINE. ON 10/08/09 I EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT OF THE 2ND OF THE 2 ORIGINAL TIRES, AGAIN DUE TO SIDEWALL FAILURE. I DO NOT HAVE THE DOT NUMBER FROM THE 1ST TIRE, BUT THE DOT NUMBER/ID FROM THE 2ND TIRE IS: BE6RMC11. *TR

TIRES THAT WERE PURCHASED FEB 2004 WITH 25/30 K ON THEM DRY-ROTTED TO THE POINT THEY COULD NOT BE BALANCED AND WERE A SAFETY ISSUE. ORIGINAL TIRES WERE GOODYEAR AMERICAN EAGLE GT SIZE P225/5516BW.. THESE TIRES WERE NOT PARKED ON ANYTHING THAT COULD CAUSE A MOISTURE ISSUE AND THEY WERE NEVER CLEANED WITHOUT PROPER CLEANING MATERIALS. *NM

WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH VALVE STEM MALFUNTIONED, CAUSING TIRES TO LOSE PRESSURE. DLT # BE8RK1110301, ORINGINAL TIRE.*AK CONSUMER STATED THAT TWO ADDITIONAL VALVE STEMS WERE ALSO FOUND FAULTY AND THE FOURTH TIRE HAD PROBLEMS DUE TO INCORRECT MOUNTING. *YH

WHILE DRIVING 45-50 MPH, PASSENGER REAR TIRE DISINTEGRATED FROM VEHICLE, HOWEVER CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. GOODYEAR INSPECTED TIRE AND ADVISED THERE WAS A SMALL PUNCTURE WHICH CAUSED TIRE TO LOSE PRESSURE AND DISINTEGRATE. CONSUMER'S FAMILY MEMBER SUFFERED BACK INJURIES AS A RESULT OF THE ACCIDENT. CONSUMER IS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE 3 REMAINING TIRES BECAUSE WINDOW STICKER STATED VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE 16 INCH TIRES, BUT THIS VEHICLE HAS 17 INCH TIRES. TIRE SIZE 245/445ZR17/ORIGINAL TIRES/TIRE MILEAGE-5300MI/DOT NUMBER M68RFC2R4700. *AK *TT
