For those who got reimbursed from Continental Tires:

Are they paying to replace the spare tire too?
I submitted a claim for only four tires, not realizing I might have been able to get five.

Just Curious

 

If the tire is one that is being recalled, then they will replace it.

 

That's funny, I just thought about that just the other day. I'm not sure I'll do anything about it, with the exception of the one that seperated, the tires lasted me 37k miles so one for a spare isn't bad!

 

Family-------- Did you replace your tires on your own, or did the dealership do it? Reason I ask is that if you went to the dealership and had Ford replace them, Ford went with a different tire size (little larger and narrower I think). Anyway, a spare of one size and a regular running tire of another size might cause a problem if you have to use the spare. Although use of the spare I assume would be short term and may not be that big a deal.





expy69--------I did replace all 4 tires on my truck before the recall was known. I had a tire go oh so bad on me. Anyway, I went with the same size that Ford went with on the replacements. I did not however even think about the spare.

I had to take the truck in (per Cont tire) for a bs reason that Ford had laid down. I think it was a misunderstanding as the recall had been announced only a day before I called. Anyway, when I had the truck in the shop, Ford replaced that tire for free. I wanted to get it done so that all of the tires would be the same size (not the same model tire, but it is a spare).

Anyway, had I replaced my spare when I replaced all of the others, Ford/Cont would pay for that 5th tire at the 110 per tire as well.

Hope this hepls.
