The wear on the tires started when I lived on tar roads and was using mostly highway for transportation. I have only lived on a dirt road for a couple months, I've owned the vehicle almost 2 years. The wear of the tires was well established before the dirt road.

I've checked tire ratings and life of tires and yokoham is usually 50-65K for the good ones. The dealership put this set on so my guess is that they're not top of the line. Initially the wear was uneven and had cupping/feathering-since rotation and alignment the feathering is resolved and now have all over wear. I have researched that tie rods are definitely an issue in the Ford Edge but I just feel like there's something else missing in this picture-especially to notice considerable wear to the front tires after only 5k miles, seems peculiar.

Not sure if I'm in the right forum but here goes nothing......I have a 2011 Ford Edge AWD SE that only came with 20k miles during 3 years owndership-at time of purchase drivers front tire was down to the wear bars. They replaced all 4 tires with yokohama directional tires (jerks). I have put about 30k miles on the car since buying and within the first 5k miles I noticed SIGNIFICANT wearing of the front tires. Went in for oil change and they did not rotate my tires so of course they got worse....after 10k they were in rough shape with 'cupping' and more noticeable wear. Tires were rotated at this time. Also had tie rods replaced. They did not see any other noticeable front end issues. After 15k miles the front tires were now even with the rear (which were previously the front). Front end alignment done and was horribly off (BAD). I live on a smooth dirt road and I am not a crazy driver. I treat my car very well and get all routine maintenance done. I continue to have noticeable front end tire wear and have been to 2 different ford dealers that cannot find a front end problem other than tie rods that have been fixed and I get routine alignments. Now my tires after 30k miles have so much wear on them I have a leak in one that requires inflation every 48 hours, (I KNOW, RIGHT?!) Is anyone else having these issues? I have also called corporate with these issues with no headway. I'm losing my mind and a lot of money with replacing tires after 30k.
