I was traveling on highway 2 in washington state, at 60 mph when my ford f150 front passenger tire blew out causing the truck to pull toward the ditch. no one was hurt. i changed my tire and contacted the tire company where the warranty would be honored. i had 30,000 miles on a 2 year old truck. i thought something would be done about it but nothing was. i am concern about my remaining tires i have on my truck.

2012 ford f-150. consumer writes in regards to issues with the vehicle spare tire. *smd the consumer stated it wasn't until he had a flat tire, that he was introduced to the term full-size dis-similar spare and the restrictions ford stipulated. driving speed, towing a trailer, or even washing the vehicle with the spare on it in a commercial wash, would violate the warranty, he paid for. the consumer was informed by the tire technician, the radius of the original tires were 39,9 inches and the radius of the dis-similar spare was 39.1 inches. further, that prolonged use of the spare could and most probably would affect the mechanical operation of the transfer case.*jb

On may 23, 2012 we purchased a new ford f-150 from beechmont ford in cincinnati and took title in the state of kentucky. the truck was fitted with 4 pirelli scorpion tires. within the first 3000 miles we had 3 sidewall tire failures. with the first side wall failure we thought it was just bad luck and had to buy another matching tire for over $200.00. we subsequently had 2 more sidewall failures and were forced to buy a full set of new tires at a cost of over $1300.00 pirelli has consistently denied and blame and refused any form of reimbursement. when my wife returned the first tire to beechmont ford, she was approached by another customer who was there with a pirelli new sidewall tire failure. a month or so later, i was having the oil changed on the truck and i was telling the oil crew about the pirelli tire nightmare and the guy in the ?pit? asked if the tires were ?pirelli scorpion tires? and i said yes, why? he responded ?a lady was just in here with the same sidewall flat tire on a new cadillac. pirelli consistently denies any knowledge of a problem and they did not bother to ask for a lot number. i figure i am out 2 roadside flat tires, $1300 in new tires on a new truck that was not off/road, accidental discoveries of the same issue with the same tire from other owners and yet, pirelli denies all. hopefully, others may be spared this expense and inconvenience and risk and pirelli is forced to stand behind their products and their warranty. *tr
