#1 of 6 Tire Road noise by fatshenry Aug 15, 2007 (10:19 am)
There is a lot! of tire road noise from my 2005 Mariner. The faster you go, the louder it gets. Has anyone experiened the same thing, if so I would like to know what did you do about it, did you change tire brands, did it help, etc. Any help would be appreciated.    Thanks, Bill Replies to this message: rcf8000 (Aug 16, 2007 2:09 pm)

Replying to: fatshenry (Aug 15, 2007 10:19 am) Road noise is a well recognized problem with the 2005 Mariner, I think. I believe that some brands of tires are much better than others in that regard. (see tirerack.com reviews) I bought an '05 Mariner for my step-daughter. When it needs new tires I'm going to recommend something other than the Continentals that came on it. (However, she drives with the stereo cranked up all the time, so the road noise doesn't bother her.)
#4 of 6 Changing a tire on Mariner by benh1 May 07, 2008 (8:47 pm)
I tried to change the rear tire on my Mariner. After I unscrewed all of the lug nuts and had the vehicle jacked off the ground I tried and tried but could not pull off the tire. Is there some trick to getting the tires off? Some sort of locking lug nut, or extra lug nut in the middle under the little plastic "Mercury" cover? The manual doesn't mention anything besides unscrewing the five lug nuts and then it states the tire should slide right off but thats just not working. Anyone have any ideas for me?

Replying to: benh1 (May 07, 2008 8:47 pm) Try banging on it with a mallet. I suspect it's just "frozen" on from winter grime, especially if you haven't rotated your tires for a while. Don't knock it off the jack.

I just took my 2005 Mariner in for an Oil Change and tire rotation. I get this done regurally. This time they told me the rear tires were wearing out. I only have 33,000 miles on them. Would they still be under warranty? Are the tires defective?
