Had my car in for it's second radiator replacement (that's another story..) and was told that my tyres were subject to a recall. My car is a Feb 03 build

The dealer arranged replacement at no cost.

Goodyear? or dunlop?

Coz my rear tyre is split right around, but theres only about 20% tread left!

Did they change all tyres?

Are they the original tyres?

dingah2,

Mate, the issue is primarily only on the early ones (within 12 months from release). they found the problem in around Oct 03 and creatde the notice to dealers and fixed the side wll in the new tyres.

The issue is the side walls. (mainly in the cooler climates) mainly on the inner side of the tyre small cracks appear in the side walls. If you have this problem take it to a Ford dealer for full not out of pocket replacement of the effected tyres (not limited to tyre wear) If you take it to a beaurepairs then they will do a warranty but charge you for the usage (wear) of the effected tyres. I has a sh*t fight to get mine replaced as noticed the issue when in Katherine I Oct / Nov 03 and went to Beaurepairs and not ford.. Got my money eventualy... :crybaby:
