I have a 2007 ford explorer (eddie bauer) and i am having a tire problem. I have michelin tires on the car with 13000 miles and the tires are worn past the wear bars. I have rotated the tires every 6000 miles. This is a lease car and i can't pass the lease inspection with these bad tires. Michelin(on their website) says these tires should last 6yrs 65,000 miles. The car is not safe to drive in the rain. *tr

This vehicle consistently had issues with air pressure in the tires. It had a auto detect system, but on a regular basis the warning light would come on for low air. This happened every couple of months for the life of the vehicle. The vehicle also had extreme tire wear. Tires were rotated every 6,000 miles as recommended and replacement tires were purchased far too often due to uneven wear. *tr
