Do the makers of the tires put on the 2005 ford Focus's not honor their warranties?

About a year ago, I bought my car, and it had around 30,000 miles on it. It's now a little over 40,000. . .apparently the tires were the originals, but they are like new. The treads are barely worn down. They only problem is the rear driver side tire broke a belt. I took it to the dealership, and they say that 90% of the tire they send back don't get any warranty coverage, so I'll have to pay full price plus I'll probably have to buy at least one other tire to put on the other side, but they think it would be best to get all four new ones! This is insane! I'm not made of money!! I have papers on tire warranty, but it doesn't want to honor it?! This is bull if you ask me! Any thoughts?

So, I bought it used from the Ford Dealership, and the whole car had like full warranty til like 35000 miles and it still has something til 100,000 miles. But there was separate info on tire warranty, and aren't most tires covered under manufactures warranty til like 50000 miles?
So my other question is, since my car was bought used, and it was previously leased from the ford dealership, who then holds the warranty? I'm not covered because I didn't technically buy them? Shouldn't the dealership still "own" the warranty, and therefore could get the tire covered? I'm so confused and very irritated. I don't wanna pay $400 to have all new tires put on, like they want to do.
 
Sounds like a lot of b.s. If you have tire warranty on paper printed by them thats all there is to it. You should fight and persist to get it changed without paying. A broken belt is usually covered as far as i know. Good luck.
 
In most case's like you have it's the store that don't want to take the time to sin it off to the maker for the warranty, because it's to much paper work to do and takes to much time for them to get it all done, plus in many case's if you wasn't the one that bought the tire's new they don't want to warranty them ,It's really just all a big head ack when you try to have something replaced when it has a warranty all it, that's why i usually don't buy the warranty in the first place.
