Description of the problem | Problems with 2001 ford f150 tire equipment.*mr the new spare tire was removed from the undercarriage to used as a replacement for a front tire. When the tire was examined the consumer noticed several grooves about 3/8 of an inch deep had been rubbed into the sidewall of the spare. The tire agency did not recommend using the tire therefore the consumer kept the old front tire. The tire manufacturer was contacted and indicated that the grooves in the tire were cosmetic and that the tire was safe to use. The consumer believes there is a design flaw in the spare tire holder under the vehicle. *nm |
