June 2008 i purchased a used 2008 ford escape. The tires are the same continental tires that were on there when i bought it. The insides of all 4 tires are wearing faster than the rest of the tread. Sounds like i have "mud" tires/aggressive tread. When the noise first started nov.2008 i thought it sounded like a wheel bearing, but those checked out fine. It wasn't until july 2009 that i figured out it was the tires making noise. I am guessing it is a problem with the tires as no mechanical problem can be found.

Tires are losing particles of the rubber. The tires are deteriorating in the middle mostly

Two tire failures within past 8 weeks.bought four continental sport lt/suv tires at walmart in colorado 6/18/04.installed on 2001 gmc savana (full size) passenger van 235/75r15.tires have under 30,000 use by summer 2006.in june 2006, right rear tire failed with major tread separation and metal cords unraveled beneath tread causing egg shape and tire to become partial shrapnel.it was hot day; occurred within 10 minutes of driving at highway speed; tire pressure had been checked same day and was good per sidewall max psi rating.replaced with pro rated discount.today, aug 29, 2006, another one of the tires failed in exact same manner!this was front right tire.tire had separation just beneath tread causing egg shape and adverse handling.i have photos saved this time of damage.tire pressure checked earlier same day and perfect per mfg psi rating on tire.hot day (again), highway travel in arizona for one hour when tire failed.tire coming apart internally, within tread area.i am now convinced something wrong with this whole batch of continental's from colorado in 2004.perhaps you will find more complaints as motorists hit 30,000 mark.
I am not happy with the original oem tires , which were continental sport lt/suv, lt235/85r16e, which according to the ford dealer i purchased the truck from, was installed on f350from the factory. On friday march 23, 2007 i experienced a tire separation on the right front tire of my truck. I was on the interstate doing the speed limit of 65 mph towing a light single wheel trailer when the tread separated damaging the fender, inner fender liner and the electrical wiring above the inner fender. We also noticed several wires were cut and no turn signals were working after this incident. I have since installed 6 new tires of the same size lt235/85r16e '' load range e and immediately compared the sidewalls of both the oem installed tires and the new tires i purchased. I asked the tire dealer for their opinion on the tire separation issue and they have replaced a number of tires for the same occurrence that happened to me.i believe ford motor company in conjunction with the tire manufacturer needs to do something in this situation as these continental oem tires are not suitable for install on f350 dualie'''s equipped with the diesel engine option. I am satisfied with the truck otherwise and would not hesitate to purchase another if the need arose. But i definitely would look at the tire situation in light of my experience.i also believe the manufacturer of the motor vehicle has a responsibility to specify a tire that is safe beyond a reasonable loading to prevent situations like this? also the tire manufacturer (dealer) also shares in this responsibility and can not abrogate the responsibility by looking at the tire from ten feet away and say it looks okay to us.
