AFTER 37,000 km in her 2008 Ford Mondeo my wife complained of a bad vibration and a banging noise from the front, which I discovered was because the front tyres were worn down to the wire and chunks had been flying off. Later, at the 45,000 km service, the dealer told me that it needed a wheel alignment, but as it had just had an alignment by a Goodyear dealer I took the car back to them and they checked it. They told me there was no camber adjustment on this vehicle and I would just have to rotate my tyres more often. My EL Falcon gets 60,000 km out of a set of tyres; is it normal on modern cars to get such low mileage from the tyres?
Your experience with the tyres wearing down to the wires should be a lesson to you and others to conduct regular checks of tyres on their cars. It's not good enough to let it go until the tyres are so worn, and in a dangerous state, before you do anything about it.
Tyres wear at different rates on different cars, and the front tyres on a front-drive car like the Mondeo wear much faster than the rear tyres, and the wear pattern is completely different to what you have experienced on your rear-wheel drive Falcon. Take the advice given you by the Goodyear dealer and regularly rotate the tyres front to back. That way you will get better mileage out of them.
