Went to rotate tires and realized one tire is mismatched

[moorejl57]

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

That's great, you can do a 5 tire rotation if you buy a matching wheel.

I have contacted the dealer and they are working with me. I did have to send them pics of the two tire types, the tread patterns and the spare. In my case the spare was the 265/65R17 112T, so I am guessing Ford screwed up at the factory. In any case, I appreciate all the feedback.

Now I need to know, when you crank the spare back up on the chain winch, how tight can I go without breaking the mechanism. My spare is all the way up but seems a little wobbly.

Strange that no one has brought this up...
Is it possible that the one different tire is the correct one, and the other 3 are the mis-matched ones ???

Maybe the spare is correct and he was supposed to have steelies!

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

My 2020 xlt 4x2 is the same. But the spare and the other 4 tires are all the same height. And size so to speak.
So i am good with it. Same size as your tires too

Well, just to update, the dealer replaced my tire with the LT version free of charge. All it cost me was a 100 mile round trip and an hour waiting.

Did he offer any explanation as to how that happened?

Nope, they claimed it was the first time they have seen this. Either way, I am just happy to get it resolved.

Indeed.

I saw something crazier. A Chrysler 300 that left the factory with mostly blacked out trim from a blackout package. Somehow chrome window trim was installed, at the factory, around the rear-driver side window. Weird stuff just happens at the facotry! ?

That is awesome that they took care of you! Great to hear there are dealers still focused on CSAT and doing the right thing instead of finding a loophole out.
