Description of the problem	I own a ford f150 2001 supercrew with 64,000 miles on it. I bought the truck new. In feb 2004, i had to replace the right front tire. Not wanting to have a tire on the left front that was worn while a new tire was on the right front, i asked the tire agency to put the spare, which had never been used, on the left front wheel mount and to use the old left front tire as the spare. When the spare was brought out from the undercarriage of the truck, several grooves about the size of a mans finger and about 3/8 of an inch deep had been rubbed into the sidewall of the spare. The tire agency did not recommend using the spare so i kept the old tire in place. I went to the ford agency where i had bought the truck, seguin motors and told them my story. Seguin motors told me that this damage was cosmetic and that the tire was safe to use and that ford was not liable for this cosmetic wear. One of the seguin motors repair people told me he had seem these groves on the spares of f150s that were less than four months old. The only conclusion i can come to is that it is a design flaw in the undercarriage that holds the spare. My spare is not safe to put on the ground and it certainly isnt safe to use this tire with my family in the truck and drive it at highway speeds. Any damage to a tires sidewall is always suspect. One would think with all the problems that ford has had with their tires in the past that they would certainly want to preclude any problem with their tires in the future. I hope you can help me in the resolution of this problem.*ak
