Replying to: rcf8000 (Dec 10, 2006 6:31 am) BF Goodrich Rugged Trails are remarkably quiet, as are Michelin Pilots. If your Mariner came with Continental tires, they probably aren't the best - you may improve things with a change out, but I can't guarantee the difference will be worth the cost. I'd burn the tires you have off, then switch to one of the other brands. Replies to this message: rcf8000 (Dec 10, 2006 11:41 am) nvbanker (Dec 10, 2006 3:27 pm)

Replying to: nvbanker (Dec 10, 2006 10:55 am) Thanks for the advice, nv. I just bought the car for my teenage step-daughter. It only has 8700 miles on it, so I assume it will be quite a while before it needs new tires. You Mariner fans out there might be interested in this: my step-daughter is only interested in a car's styling and image. She decided she wanted an SUV, so, being a car nut, I wanted to make some recommendations. She rejected the CR-V, RAV-4, Highlander, Nitro, PT Cruiser, and Liberty, but liked the Escape and Mariner. Go figure.... Replies to this message: nvbanker (Dec 10, 2006 3:27 pm)

#474 of 500 Used 2005 Mariner Premier with "cupped" tires? by ladykiller Dec 18, 2006 (9:47 am)
Hello everyone! I just purchased a 2005 4WD V6 Premier Mariner with ~33,500 miles on it. My mechanice said the back passenger side tire was 'cupped'. I read all of the previous posts re: tire tread and wearing, thank you for the info! I'm taking it into a tire shop today to find out the real cause of the cupping and hopefully new tires and an alignment (from the dealer) will fix the problem. I'll keep you posted.

Replying to: ladykiller (Dec 18, 2006 9:47 am) At 33,000 miles, a new set of tires isn't a bad idea anyway. I recommend either Dunlops or Michelins. Having the alignment checked after the new tires are on is a good idea as well.

My wife and I just purchased a 2007 Mariner Premier and all is well so far. It's her car and she loves everything about it. Especially the audiophile 6CD/mp3 stereo and the heated leather seats. It's the dark red color.   I would have prefered a Honda CRV that got better mileage but hey, what can you do? Marriage is compromise.

Replying to: sanarael (Oct 23, 2006 3:17 pm) I don't own a hybrid. but am considerng an 08 Escape/Mariner Hybrid and have been reading a lot about them. One feature they have is that the gas engine completely shuts off when that car is in "idle" and it uses 100% electric motor to start going. If that is true, you may not have a problem at all - it may just be a feature of Ford's 100% hybrid system. Just a thought.

Replying to: tonyjrosa (Mar 17, 2007 10:50 am) I have a 2005 Mercury Mariner and it did not come with nerf bars. I am a very short female and since vehicle is so high I wanted them. I bought them and had them installed by Ocala Lincoln Mercery (who I bought vehicle from). I payed $530.00 for them. I cannot use them, it's makes it harder for me to get in and out. I am fixing to have them removed from the dealership and let them keep them (I would lose half my money), so if you are interested in them for $400, please let me know...   Mary 812-2280 cell
