| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: These were original equipment tires and, after about 30000 miles, i noticed the truck lurched upon take-off from either a stop or slow speed, as well as a worming motion going around corners. the dealership assured me this all was normal. i got a flat (the front left) while hunting and, upon taking it to les schwab for proper repair, was told the tread had separated. the plug was stated to have been the cause of the separation. i then purchased four new tires. since these tires have been on my truck, the "normal" lurch is gone. i have been told by others that tread separation can cause a lurch the same as what i was experiencing. these wilderness at tires were not part of the recall. i do not have the dot numbers of the tires, though i am sure the dealership or ford would have them on record. i do not know if les schwab would still have the tires that i had replaced.
