Anyone have an problems with there tires cupping ? just trying to find out if this is common

I looked at several earlier model used Tribbies and Escapes before buying a new 08 Tribute. Several of them had cupped tires. Is that normal? I dunno :shrug: , but it is a very strong coincedence, no? :worry:

I've found that we have to be RELIGIOUS about the 5,000 mile tire rotation schedule with the Escape. My Focus is the same way.

I never had cupping on my 2007 Escape...and hell I hardly rotated my tires lol

Hmmm. You bought new tires...that's not fair!

Just for grins. You did have Conticraps on your Escape, right? Do you remember how many miles were on them when you dumped them for the Firestones?

I know this wasn't directed specifically at me, but I'll answer anyway. I just replaced our ContiCraps with Avon Rangers at 68,000 miles. It was a long, noisy relationship! I couldn't believe how long they lasted (and I couldn't believe that I actually was cursing them for lasting so long).

WOW! 68K! I dunno if I'll do more than 50K before I change them out. Maybe only 40K. It depends. I might upgrade the Tribute to a Hybrid model before buying new tires.
