Filed Oct 19, 2000 · Tires · TX

The tire in question is the "doughnut" spare. It was discovered to have splits and stress cracks when I went to replace a punctured tire on the above date. I still have the damaged spare in my posession. I have reported the failure to both firestone and volvo dealers. The response of each was to offer to sell me a new spare. I have replaced the spare with a new full size tire. (tiresize: spare)( dot number: tire size: spare )
