Went to rotate tires and realized one tire is mismatched

The fact your spare is matching(with the exception of the wheel) is nice.

i wonder if someone took it for a wild test ride and damaged a tire so the dealer swapped in the odd ball. no matter what took place i say someone owes you the correct tire.

Definitely contact the dealer for the correct tire.

Wonder if they will claim the right tire is the spare and that truck had the spare swapped in

A 2021 with 5k miles? Oh...., they're going to clearly blame you for this one.

I wonder how long the laughter will carry on at the dealership???

It's not uncommon for a tire to be popped pulling onto a lift. I'm wondering if maybe it happened during dealer prep?

FWIW I found my 2021 with FX4 package to have 3(!!) different types of tires on it on the lot as I was about to purchase it. So it wouldn't surprise me if this was a factory screwup, only correct one for the trim was the spare.

That mismatch is almost guaranteed to have been the spare at some point. The ratings on the spares are different than the ratings on the regular tires even on brand-new trucks off the lot. I'm willing to bet someone needed to replace a tire and said use the spare because the size was the same and that was the end of it.

My 2021 Ranger finally hit 5000 miles so I went to rotate the tires and saw that the front passenger tire is a 265/65R17 112T while the other three tires are LT265/65R17 109T. Looking them up, the mismatched tire is a cheaper tire and weighs like 10 lbs less. I am going to contact the dealer and see what they say, but is it safe to drive this way?

" Hankook Dynapro, was a $275 upgrade on the sticker " You got ripped, on purpose or by accident. Tell the dealer you want 4 of the tires you paid for, not 3 with a cheepie in the lot.

Not all Rangers run a matching spare so there is a fat chance it will be what he needs there

Mine came with 255/65-17's but the spare is a 255/70-16 on a steel wheel.

Sounds about right to me. My 2019 was the same way

I checked my 2021 FX4 and it's 265/65R17 112T all the way around

 

[Nellieg]

How many have run out ...checked tires ...crawled underneath and checked the spare.... I am 265/65r17 112T on all 5 with a 2019
