2002 Ford Mustang Tires & wheels Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the tire or wheel system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Tires & wheels reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

ON NOV. 3RD OF THIS YEAR MY SON HAD A BLOW OUT WITH ONE OF THE NEW EAGLE LS TIRES. HE WAS PULLING INTO A DRIVEWAY AND HIT THE CURB WITH HIS FRONT RIGHT TIRE. HE TOOK THE TIRE TO A GOODYEAR DEALER AND TOLD HIM WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE DEALER TOLD HIM THAT HITTING THE CURB CAUSED THE TIRE TO BLOW. THIS TIRE HAD ONLY 2341 MILES ON IT AND I DO NOT THINK THAT HITTING A CURB WHILE ENTERING A PARKING LOT SHOULD CAUSE THIS TIRE TO BLOW. THIS PAST WEEKEND I WAS LOOKING OVER THE OTHER TIRES AND FOUND A BULGE ON THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED ANY OTHER COMPLIANTS ABOUT THIS TIRE. THE TIRE WHICH I AM ASKING ABOUT IS THE P225/55R16 94T S1 EAGLE LS. CAN YOU PLEASE GET BACK TO ME WITH ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU MAY HAVE ON THIS TIRE. DT
