I have one trip on my truck and about 1800 miles. I noticed one of the rear tires has a some damage to the sidewall..
The dealership took pictures to submit for a warranty claim which will be denied Iam sure.
I would make it a swing before I reuse it for anything including a spare. I had a compact spare in a C4 Corvette that was new to me. Driving home one day, I got a puncture. No problem. Switch the tire with the spare. 10 miles later, it gave up the ghost. Unreliable is worse than not having, IMO.
I always have said, if you were going to build a house would you just throw down framing on the ground and build or would you build a solid foundation first. Tires are the foundation of a vehicle but yet a lot of people don’t want to spend money . Take your vehicle and Jack it up onto jack stands and you have some expensive yard art that does nothing. Without tires it’s nothing. Tires are cheap insurance for a $50,000 plus Super Duty Truck.

Don't care about the truck. I can make more money and buy another one easier than I can rebuild my body if it gives out at a bad moment.
