?,, about firestone recall, please read.

[Isaac]

Hi,, i own a 92 XLT 4x4 4 door, and bought it a few months ago, all buildup and fixing up of the vehical is going well,, anyway my ? is,,,,
i droped the spare tire down yesterday, to see how much room there was to get to the shocks and to check the cable. (btw i put monro sensi trac's up front and going to be putting them on the front WOW what a great shock for this vehical)
anyway,, the thing is the spare is a firestone,, looks like the original firestone and original spare rim.
i have since i got the vehical with 145k on it put new tires all the way around, but what about that spare? can i get a new tire out of it?
and if so how do i do so here in PA.
go to a ford dealer?
thanx for reading and any help you may be!

to add to and correct what tuby posted,,

i call ford,, they indeed said what tuby posted was true, but laso told me to call a firestone dealer and ask what they had still,, so i took my rig to a local FS dealer, and no ?'s asked i have a brand new Firestone inplace of my old spare,, free tire,, cant beat that, im going to wear my currect goodyear gs/a's down a bit more then buy the remaining (3) firestones . kinda like a buy 3 get the 4th free,, im happy lol,, hmm,, wonder if i can find a couple more old firestones LOL
thanx for the info guys

I have one that is like brand new...I think it has 5 miules on it (well 150k under my truck). I think I will go to Firestone and pay the difference to get a nice big spare for my Kennesaw Bumper that is showing up tomorrow.

There is nothing wrong with the firestones imo the rollovers where due to driver incompetence. If any dumbass driving 80mph on low tires then hits something and gets a flat then slams on the brakes your gonna flip i dont care what youre driving. out of over a million explorers how many have rolled 200? 300? i see alot of A**holes out on the road driving there explorers beyond the trucks limits.. its a truck not a car! sheesh.

damn straght. i loved the virestones. they were sticky and held traction real well. now i got goodyear wildernes tires and i hate them. they are hard and don't stop well. i actually slip in more corners with these then the old firestones.

besides the fact that i have read a lot on these cases and a lot had pot in the car at the time. i'll try and find the article i read that in... it was a while ago though.

So well the tires held onto the road better then they held on to the tire itself... LOL
