2012 Ford F-150. Consumer writes in regards to issues with the vehicle spare tire. The consumer stated it wasn't until he had a flat tire, that he was introduced to the term full-size dis-similar spare and the restrictions Ford stipulated. Driving speed, towing a trailer, or even washing the vehicle with the spare on it in a commercial wash, would violate the warranty, he paid for. The consumer was informed by the tire technician, the radius of the original tires were 39,9 inches and the radius of the dis-similar spare was 39.1 inches. Further, that prolonged use of the spare could and most probably would affect the mechanical operation of the transfer case.
