I PURCHASED A 2015 FORD TRANSIT 350 XLT 15 PASSENGER VAN EXACTLY TWO WEEKS AGO. THE VAN HAS 30,000 MILES AND CAME WITH OEM CONTINENTAL 235/65 R16 VANCO FOUR SEASON TIRES. LAST WEEK I NOTICED A "CHUNK" OF RUBBER MISSING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE (LOCATED ON TREAD, OUTER LUG). THE CHUNK IS AROUND 1/2 TO 3/4 INCH IN WIDTH AND CONSIDERABLY DEEP. TWO DAYS AGO I NOTICED A VERY LARGE CHUNK OF TREAD MISSING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE. THIS PARTICULAR AREA IS 1 1/2 TO 1 3/4 INCH WIDE AND SO DEEP, I CAN SEE NYLON CORDS. AT THIS POINT, I NOTIFIED CONTINENTAL AS I HAVE NEVER SEEN TIRES IN THIS CONDITION WITH ONLY 30,000 MILES. THE TIRES WERE MANUFACTURED IN WEEK 38, 2014. I HAVE A LARGE FAMILY AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING ON THESE TIRES. CONTINENTAL WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY AS I'M NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I WANTED TO WRITE TO MAKE FOLKS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, JUST IN CASE THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER REPORTS FOR THIS SPECIFIC TIRE LINE.

THE RIGHT SIDE MIRROR DESIGN ON THIS VAN IS THE WORST I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. THE UPPER PART OF THE MIRROR MAGNIFIES YOUR VIEW WHILE THE LOWER REDUCES IT. IT TAKES GREAT CONCENTRATION TO MAKE A SAFE LANE CHANGE WHEN MOVING TO THE RIGHT. THE POOR DESIGN OF THIS MIRROR IS GOING TO CAUSE ACCIDENTS. THE DESIGN NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND A DIRECTIVE TO FORD SHOULD BE ISSUED TO RECALL AND FIX THE MIRRORS. THIS VAN IS OWNED BY ENTERPRISE RENTAL CARS. WE USE IT AS OUR VAN POOL VEHICLE. *TR
