| Description of the problem | Purchased 2005 toyota sienna with firestone compact spare in november 2005. In june 2006, used spare for about 8 miles and noted severe cracking on spare. Firestone replaced after two - three weeks delay due to out of stock. Replacement spare was mounted july 7, 2006. In june 2007, i was planning road trip, so i checked spare. Once again, noted cracking on spare. This tire was under a year old and has never been used on the road. One failure is bad luck, but two failures lead me to believe that tire and/or mount design on this vehicle causing premature failure. Obviously, i am concerned about safety and long term reliability. |
