Premature tire wear!

[Dantanman]

Falken Wild Peaks worn out at 25000 miles. Not impressed at all. Wife's vehicle, 95% highway miles, zero abuse. I have emailed Falken to see if they will assist in the 1300.00 replacement.

If I'm not mistaken, your tires come with a 55K warranty. Most tire warranties work on a pro-rated system. They'll refund the cost of the tires minus an amount proportional to the number of miles you got out of them.

Thanks. That's what I read, I've emailed them and will see what they say

@Dantanman what @Mark S. said is true with aftermarket tire purchases. You obtain a mileage promise from the tire retailer you buy from. Factory tires do not have a mileage promise typically. The best you could get from Falken would be a customer concession. It is worth a try.

Ford includes tires in its NVLW. Tire mfgs sometimes also include a warranty for new vehicles.

How would you prove to the company that is the true mileage on the tire? Not trying to be an ass just curious as I have never had to go this route.

They were on the vehicle when purchased new and I have the build sheet to prove it. I also have tire measurements from every service visit.

The tires have the same warranty regardless of how they were purchased. The manufacturer is responsible, the dealer will always tell you to contact them directly. I'm a retired Ford dealer who got re- tired today I went up one size, looks great.

That’s really disappointing. I love my WildPeaks. They are the perfect tire IMHO for the Sport but not able to make 50k would be a last time buy for me.

Are all the tires worn evenly? Just that the mileage didn't meet the warranty.

Good that you have the tread measurements from your service visits.

How much tread depth do you have left?

It's a hassle dealing with any kind of warranty issues anymore. Give it a shot.

I would buy the next set of tires from Discount Tire/ America's tire.

Did you happen to check if there was a warranty document provided (along with your owners manual etc) for your factory installed OE Falken Wild Peaks? My OE Perelli tires came with a warranty doc stating there is no mileage coverage. But I read from someone else that the factory installed OE Falken warranty does include mileage. IDK for sure.

I've never thought factory supplied tires to be worth replacing, although I'm liking my Wild Peaks so far.

Yes they have the 55k warranty.

All between 2 & 3/32nds. I'm in Canada. Thanks

I can check with mine.

Just checked. No milage warranty or claims when purchased with the vehicle. Only if failure occurs before a certain thread depth.

I think there is a pill for that.
