Spare tire cable snapped on the morning of 7/12/12.snapping of the cable resulted in the rear of the vehicle becoming airborne and shifting to the side while in mid air. Luckily time was on my side. I was working nights and had this incident unfolded while working my normal day shift, I am positive there would have been contact between my vehicle with another vehicle, or another vehicle with tire and rim on route 287 North in New Jersey as the roads are packed like sardines in a can yet moving at a brisk pace. I did not know what is was at first but immediately pulled off into the shoulder. Found the wheel and noticed that the unused spare tire is now in need of replacement at a cost of $180.

Our company always buys Toyota Tacoma trucks. Recently we purchase two 2006. We've had two flats in the rear where the sealer just came off. Tire# P 215/70R15 Firestone destination le. I called the dealer and they said they haven't had any complaints. We decided to install new cooper tires and be done with it. We didn't want to take a chance while driving this to happen again. I still will buy Toyota but in the future will ask for better tires.
