What is the logic of new tire offer

[Gray Goose]

Ford sends out an email for new tires exactly one-year after I take delivery. Hypothesizing about the reasoning
A. Ford thinks everyone needs new tires every year
B. The OEM tires have an expected life of about one year
C. The usual spam
D. All of the above
(I know it could be a poll, but the poll UI is not working for me)

Just one of the one to three I get monthly. This years included "bonus pass points". This months was 20% off diy parts counter. Also got check in mail because neighbor mentioned my name when she bought pickup. Haven't got one for couple months reminding me that dealer offers free pickup/delivery for service appointments. I did get a free "the works" oil change last week since I had 4 punches on my buy 4 get one key fob tag. (The new fob tag is buy five get one free so price of free oil change has gone up).

There's no thinking involved. It's all automated. They have your email address, so they email you promotions.
Right after I got my new Maverick, Ford started sending me emails trying to get me to buy a new vehicle.

If it's within 30 days and has a discount coupon stop by dealer for the discount.

I'm sure there are members of this forum who would suggest that you follow this advice.

What... I wasn't supposed to secedual an appointment for new tires??? My appointment is Tuesday at 11...

C .... spam..

But here's an interesting tidbit.... I got new rims/tires after about 10 months... Really driven by just not feeling the BAP wheels, nor the 225 size... Obviously not a decision driven by the economics of the thing. I did however get a very good price on the BAP/Michelin 225 combo which made the BroncoSport/Pirelli 245 switch easier to swing...

If you read the fine print, there might be an Unsubscribe link, I know that they don't always work, but it's worth a shot.

First off, I have no idea if this is true. But i've read on this forum and other places that the tires on new vehicles do not have the same tread depth of the same tire purchased at normal retail locations. IF it is true, i would be curious if the tires purchased at dealers are purchased via the same bulk contract as at the ford factory and have lesser tread depth??? You may want to check tread depth, just a curious thought.

I did see that on this latest email and I did unsubscribe, but how did they know? I just changed my oil?

My dealer, in McKinney TX, has a tread depth checker that you drive over when entering the service center. So they know when I bought the truck, they just got my current mileage, and now they have my tread depth. Pretty easy to figure out tire wear rate.
