| 2006 f-350 ford truck since truck was purchased when tires are about 60% used bad wobble in front end when on a curve right or left when hitting a bump in road or a change in pavement height. when this happens truck is hard to control until speed is reduced to approx 45 mph. a rebalance of the tires help but still wobbles at speeds above 50mph in the above circumstances. truck now has 65,000 miles on it and i am on the 5th set of tires have used 4 different brands but it always seem to be the same as the tire wear the wobble gets worse and worse. the wobble is always there even when the tires are new but it is minimal until the tire wears to about 60% of the tread then it gets to an unsafe level of drivable it literally jerks the steering wheel uncontrollably until you slow below 50mph. ford is aware of this problem and many commercial truck buyers (pacific gas and electric and southern california edison to name two)have brought there fleet trucks in to have no success of repair. i am being told there is no fix so perhaps a recall is in order. at first i thought it was a problem with the contitract 18 tires that came on the truck from the factory (they were the worst with the wobble) but i have since used other brands and the problem still persists. *tr | |||

| Original tire size lt275/65r20. spare tire size lt275/70r16. 2006 king ranch f-350 , 4 -door powerstroke diesel. factory spare tire won't fit over the brake caliper. should've been a 20 inch rim as are the stock ones. this is not one of ford's better ideas! should be a recall and replace with the right size. *tr | |||

| Was driving 2006 ford f350 4x4 on toll road at approximately 60 mph. without warning, vehicle pulled sharply and within seconds there was a loud explosion. goodyear wrangler ar oem tire passenger side front had blown. tire sidewall completely split and shredded. fortunately, i was in the right lane and able to guide truck to the shoulder. had i been towing a trailer, traveling at a higher speed, or in the left lane, the outcome could have been deadly. now, i am concerned about the integrity of the 3 remaining wrangler at tires. *nm | |||
