1. I've had problems with this tire holding air. It has given me problems ever since i purchased it. It was taken to the dealer all through warranty.

It ruined a good tire after 12,000 miles of use; it was rotated all the necessary times; only…

In attempting to remove the right rear wheel and tire assembly from my car, i found this to be impossible-apparently ,the cast wheel metal had corroded to the hub. This made an impossibly difficult and potentially dangerous problem of a normally routine one. *jb

I have experienced problem after problem since purchasing my 2002 svt focus. Random stalls, leaks, and noises. Shift linkage failure, wheel bearing failure, power window problems. Intake manifold failure, wrong idle speed, loss of electrical power. 35 days in the shop so far and counting, all within 11mo of purchase. Don't buy a ford car, you'll regret it.

Ford focus 2002 zx5 with 16" alloy wheels and firestone tires seems to be susceptible to road hazard damage more than other cars i have had. One bubbled tire, and another punctured tire within weeks of each other. The focus alloy wheels are the worse problems. At least two have been bent to the point of causing steering and vibration problems on car. One wheel has two visible bumps, and one wheel has a massive…
