#349 of 361 2008 Ford Focus SES Tire Wear by kssnflwr Nov 16, 2009 (1:26 pm)
And you thought they fixed the alignment issues in the 2008s! Don't be fooled! First set of tires went around 18,000 miles--they blamed it on me, said I didn't get them rotated enough. So, after another $500 and a brand new set of Pirellis, I faithfully rotated every 6,000 miles with my oil changes---didn't do much better, my 65,000 mile tires last about 30,000 miles! I bought this car for the fuel savings, but it seems as though I have to put a brand new set of tires on the stupid thing every year. Where's the savings?? And, where's Ford?? This is the first Ford I've owned in years, and I should have stuck with my Dodge/Chrysler products. Ford needs to put their money where their mouth is--why do they continue to get away with selling a faulty product??

Replying to: kssnflwr (Nov 16, 2009 1:26 pm) I dont understand why your tires didnt last much longer! I own a 2008 Focus myself with 42,000 miles on it. I have never rotated the tires and they still have good tread!. There must be a reason you are haveing so much trouble!. If you ever find out why this is happening please let us know

Replying to: kssnflwr (Nov 16, 2009 1:26 pm) If your tires have a 65,000 mile warranty and wore out in 30,000, then the tire mfr should pay about 1/2 the cost of the new tires. Replies to this message: kssnflwr (Nov 17, 2009 6:41 am) matsukes (Nov 17, 2009 6:49 am) jeffyscott (Nov 17, 2009 7:38 pm)

Replying to: kssnflwr (Nov 17, 2009 6:41 am) If the tires have worn evenly, there is no defect. If they have worn unevenly and it was not do to aggressive driving, then I'd assume you need an alignment or some other repair.   It was not a Focus, but my kid wore out 2 tires in 6000 miles. They had a 60K mi warranty, so the tire manufacturer gave him two new tires and he paid only for mounting and balancing
