[QUOTE="Bob Markey, post: 718450, member: 65610"] My '05 Sport Trac developed uneven tire wear which I believe is called "cupping". The chopping sound made by the tires turning was maddening. A dealer in Louisiana gave me a technical service bulletin, which, he said, called for my tires to be replaced and adjustments made to the truck to keep the problem from reoccurring. The local dealer replaced the tires and the problem was gone. I just discovered my brother's Sport Trac (2003 or '04) and a friend's similar truck have the same problem,. But the same dealer won't help them. It seems like this is a design issue - perhaps an issue solved with the latest design of this truck. I would appreciate knowing if anyone else out there had the same problem, and how or whether the problem was resolved. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
