Dent in tires? 🤔

[Robrmrz7]

Is this normal? All 4 have them, never seen this before.

Take that back to the dealership and have them replace all 4 tires. Also check if there is a recall on those tires.

I've seen this before when tires are a few years old. The first picture is one that would make me a little nervous, that's a big 'dent'

This is horrible advice. Horrible. This is normal for tires. Look at youtube videos of how tires are made. Now I understand why service advisors blow most people off when they come in for "problems". This is completely normal for tires.

This happened to me with my F150 and there was a recall on that BF Goodrich batch of tires so they replaced them all to include the spare. So is not horrible advise. No wonder you admit to be fake.

Dents, ribbing, etc completely normal.

However that first photo gives me pause. That's a fairly noticeable indent.

Those are not attractive but not necessarily defective either.
Enjoy your new ride.

If you haven't already my next stop is the Dealer, Those are unexceptable

The title if this thread reminded me of that comedy routine about flat tires and dumb people. "Tire gone flat?" "Nope, the other three just swelled right up on me. Here's your sign".

After looking at your pictures I'm wondering if some of the belts got damaged. Definitely would clear that up with the dealer.

The dealer will quote Ford


SSM 50247 - 2021-2022 Various Vehicles - Tire Sidewall Wavy/Indentation Appearance
Some 2021 and 2022 Ford and Lincoln vehicles may experience a tire sidewall wavy/indentation appearance in the radial direction on one or both sidewalls. Sidewall wavy/indentation appearance is a common cosmetic characteristic of radial tire construction and will not affect the performance of the tire.

I’ve seen it all the time but usually on Goodyear tires. It’s just how they are made. Kinda like the se were the tire casing meets. I’d try to see if they would meet you half way on 245 70 R 17
tires. There’s most likely nothing wrong with your tires but try to get something out of it . The 1 inch height difference in height makes a huge difference in looks. Try and see what you can get.

New Honda Accord’s tires had the same. I’ve seen it on other new cars.

I was in the car business for several years way back when and my guess would also be probably over tightening of the anchor straps on the transport truck. The good news is possibly driving for 50 miles or so in temperatures over 75° Fahrenheit outside they should heat up enough to straighten out. Either way not your problem the dealership should provide replacements at no charge

You have broken belts in your tires most likely and no that is NOT A NORMAL problem.. period I worked as a tire technician for 10 years with certifications from Good year and Michellin (I know that isn't spelled right) and ANY tire that came in with dents like that would be and immediate return and the company could replace them. There is no reason to take a chance on it.

Also when you bring it back if you live anywhere that has snow tell them to give you the Faulken Wildpeaks AT3W tires. If not then you should be fine but as a base for these trucks in snow the wildpeaks are Great I have them from the factory ( I did not order my truck just bought it from dealership in October) and the truck is nearly unstoppable in Maine snowstorms so far.

That does not sound good, or safe. I'm going to take it back to the dealer this week. I'll update afterwards.
