Have you ever experienced a failure of your SPARE tire? In many ways, the MOST important of all your tires?

Did you run over something, put the spare on, and then have the spare fail too?

Or just rotate in the spare, and have it fail after just a few hours of service?

It happened to me last month. My spare had sat unused for three years. Within three hours and 150 miles, it had almost completely disintegrated before I noticed. Fortunately, the damage was confined only to the tire. Still, the incident cost me hundreds of dollars.

If something like this has happened to you, please reply so that we can compare notes.
