EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:CARRIER/RACK
SPARE TIRE MOUNTED ON LEFT SIDE BLOCKS VIEW OF DRIVER. SHOULD BE ON RIGHT SIDE OF VEHICLE BEHIND DRIVER. THIS IS A RHD VEHICLE USED FOR MAIL DELIVERY. HAVE ALMOST HIT 2 CARS THAT WERE BLOCKED FROM MY VIEW BY THE TIRE. CHRYSLER SAID THE RIGHT PANEL WILL NOT HOLD THE SPARE AND THE ONLY OPTIONS ARE TO LAY THE TIRE DOWN ON THE FLOOR OR PURCHASE A ROOF RACK AND MOUNT IT ON THE ROOF.

THE TREAD ON ALL THE ORIGINAL FOOUR TIRES ARE BALLED ALL AROUND. I HAVE ROTATED THE TIRES AND THE FRONT END IS IN ALIGNMENT.

I ALSO CALLED A NUMBER OF GOODYEAR DEALERS IN THE AREA AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT PLACE THESE TIRES ON A JEEP. CHRYSLER STATED THAT THESE TIRE ARE STANDED EQUIPEMENT.
