Anyone know if there is any objective difference between same size tires with different load indexes?
I needed new rears, OEM are 275/40/19 101Y but I could only find 275/40/19 105Y in stock at my local tire shop. Can't wait for delivery as I'm going on a road trip tomorrow. Any differences and/or potential issues?

In the end it took 11 weeks to find and fix a water leak that appeared to be an embarrassing factory fault in the form a badly attached and leaking sticker at the outside of the a pillar. I'm happy it's solved, still no news on who's gonna pay for the work though!
So I tried to leave it behind and forget about it until I discovered my next issue yesterday... in the form of... my hood/paint that starts to bubble:shrug: meaning rust under the paint!!! So it kind off get difficult to forget about the issues I have and already had so far...

Well, I do not f@@king believe it. Are you still under warranty? If yes, then ask them to pay for that. If not, then I would sell the car, I wouldn't think twice. With your luck the A/C is going to be next...

Warranty no, and the A/C was last summer! This was fixed under warranty tough...
At first I thought it was rust under the paint but the bonnet seems to be aluminum, so corrosion or oxidation it is! Issue number 12 in only 2.5 years! Sweet:frusty:

13 years and they didn't manage to solve this even on an aluminum bonnet?! If this is the case, why would I bother to have it fixed because in a few months an other spot can start to bubble off, so it wont stop once it's started I guess!
Oddly enough, the first time I inspected the car at the dealership back in 2015 I asked them what it would cost to get the car painted like it should! The answer was ... very expensive as they would need to strip it first, but they agreed the result would be better than factory finish.
Thanks for the info though, Ill give them a call today!

Corrosion it is! They suggested sanding and repaint of the piece, but my concern is that it will spread like a virus. If this already happened after 2.5 years I can already imagine what it will be like next year.

Usually only the front edge will be affected.

Thx for the info Ericc, I read there have been several lawsuits over it as well. I hope I don't have to go that route, the dealer said it's the first ever at there shop;)
I also noticed yesterday that my drivers side starts to bubble but this time on the edge under the hood... looks promising.. meanwhile the can fix all my rock chips while there at it!!!

You are not the only one with rust.....a few here that I know and quite a few on the German forum. Mine too :frusty: drivers door, bottom edge on the inside had rust in 3 places. Ford decided to change the door and I must say have done a great job. All covered under warranty.

Hmm will be doing a full cover Xpel, warranty or not doubt Ford will also pay for the Xpel that has to be reapplied after they fix their production defects.
Do these rust/corrosion spots develop over time or can you spot them right away ?
