I have had to replace the tires on my ford focus three times in 55,000. Miles. The dealer says that focuses "eat tires" and that i have to rotate every oil change. That doesn't even help. I just keep buying tires to be safe. Someone without resources to buy new tires could have a blow out on the road and it would be the ford explorer issue all over again. I searched the web and there are many, many other focus…

Three of four hankook optimo tires on my 2007 ford focus deflated completely over the course of a month. Broken valve stems were the cause in each case. I had the valve stem replaced on the three failed tires as well as the fourth; no use in waiting for that one to fail too. *tr

The rim remained on the car. The tire was changed to the spare and a new tire was purchased and…

Not during any time did the airbags deploy on any side of…

The ford focus eats tires like crazy. I have owned my 2007 focus for three years now. I have to put new tires on it every 16,000 miles because the rear tires are cupping. I've had the alignment/shocks/suspension looked at and have been told that they are fine. I have heard many people complain about having the same problem with their focus. I asked ford about this problem and they have no solution. I would…

Severe tire wobble. Took the car to dealer. They said it needed alignment and 2 new tires. Took to a tire dealer they said that they have had many of the same cars in there with the same problem. It's that the rear wheels are toed-in 50% to much from the factory specs and it just chops the tires up. The car needs 2 new tires and a alignment job to fix the problem from the factory. I feel that the company should pay…
