Update : Tread Wear Issue

[Alignment/Tier Issue Update]

As I shared my rear tire issue last time, finally I got an official answer from Ford head office last week. (Took almost 4 weeks !!)

HERE IS THE OFFICIAL ANSWER FROM FORD.

• No initial alignment issue from factory was confirmed.
• As seen in the picture, your tire tread wearing EVENLY is confirmed.
• Thus, this is not a manufactured defect seeing they are wearing evenly.
• Wearing on tiers as evenly will not be covered either warranty or extended contract.
• You’ll have to pay for new tires to replace.

Ford said, tread wearing outside edge faster than inside like positive-camberish is standard as wearing evenly for Dark Horse.

I escalated this answer to dealer’s service manager, is this really “Wearing EVENLY” from your eye or not?
I’m waiting for his final judgement, most likely tomorrow I will get.

Anyhow, both rear tires have achieved their end of lifetime at 4878miles. Inside fiber stuff is facing me now. Cannot drive any more for safety concern. My Dark Horse is sleeping in garage during waiting for his final call.

Either way, the only one way driving she can do as last trip, driving to dealer or driving to neighboring tire shop.

Most likely, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (or NITTO NT555 G2?) is my option for replacement.
If you have any suggestions, I would very much appreciate your experience and feedback.

Unfortunately, this is the “price” for a very sticky tire that gives outstanding grip and performance numbers…at the same time it will cost you quite a bit of $$$ to replace them (and there may not much inventory at this time). My main reason for not ordering the HP pack for my DH. Also, I will never “track” the vehicle.

This guy had some tire issues too but was beating on the car a little.
