Hello,
My wife's old car was a '13 Fusion. The tires on that car would not last past about 25K miles no matter what brand of tire I put on. The cars alignment was checked and good, the car was not driven aggressively, I checked and adjusted tire pressures constantly (an OCD thing of mine), they were also rotated properly. Now her new car a '18 Flex seems to be experiencing the same type of accelerated wear. The car has 15k on it and the tires are looking like they will need replacing at about the 25k mark. Since it is my wife's car and she drive our children around I pay the tires a lot of attention since they are a major safety device for them on the road. I replace the tires once the reach the wear bars if not a smidge sooner.
My question is this, is this a Ford thing? Is it a Ford in a desert thing? Anyone else have experience with cars that have good alignments, proper air pressure, frequent rotations and just wear tires?
