thats all i have heard about is the tyres not lasting long but i can live with that . I have managed to get the full spec on mine with sat nave for 16500k is this a good deal in your eyes

and why do the tyres not last long ???

Those Transits are great, had a go in one and it handles better than most MPV's and 4X4's im suprised Ford never badged as a Transit ST or something though!!

id imagine the front tyres is due to torque and wheel spin or something like that.... or maybe the way the front suspension is set up with camber angles and such

Hmm..powerful diesel engine in a front wheel drive van which weighs next to nothing unladen and a lot when laden. Why do you think they don't last long?

You're meant to do your research BEFORE signing on the dotted line...
