More than likely your struts need replacing.
Get a front-end alignment THEN get new front tires…
Your Escape is still under warranty, so have it inspected by a dealer. Keep in mind that tires NEVER live up to their full warranty. If you've got a set with a 60K guarantee, expect to replace them at about 50K.
Cupping of the tires normally indicates that the struts/shocks are bad. Take it back to the dealer and ask them to replace the struts.
Could be out of alignment. Has the car had any accident history in the past? Or did you buy it new? If you bought it new then there must be a manufacture defect.
Cupped tires are a symptom of bad alignment. That's what I've always heard. And that's what I've always seen.
Yes, I have thoughts, you should not be surprised.
- Can 225/70R16 tires fit on rims that have 225/70r14 tires on them? I have 225/70r14 tires on my Ford ranger. I just got some 225/70r16 tires of the same brand, Cooper, given to me. Will they fit on the 225/70r14 rims or do I need to get rims to fit the 225/70r16.
- What would win, a 2017 Subaru WRX STI or a 2017 Ford Mustang 3.7 V6 if they raced I have a bet with a friend that the STI would win and he thinks the mustang would, I don't need statistics like "the mustang has 300hp and the STI has 305" and yes I'm aware the driver makes a huge difference being standard vehicles, thanks for the answers
- Why does 2017 ford focus 1.0L has less mpg than 2017 honda civic? It has tiny engine as geo metro like it supposed to be 50 mpg? The manual focus has 30 city 40 hwy mpg which is average for an 4 cylinder subcompact, while the automatic 1.5L civic makes 2 gained mpg difference.
- I have a 2015 Ford Escape 4WD with 4 new Fuzion tires. Less than 3,000 miles. When cold, after setting overnight, the front or back tire on? The passenger side makes a thumping noise as the tire rotates on the roadway at low speeds for about 100-200 yds, then smooths out and the noise goes away. Can't tell if it's the front or rear. They're properly inflated and have good even treadwear. Any ideas what's causing the noise?
