| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 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. *tr |
