I purchased a Bronco on May 17, 2025. All went well and I was happy, until I found that the car had mismatched tires. Goodyear in the front, Continental in the rear. I sent an email with information. It was unanswered. I called the salesman, no return call. I finally got him on the phone and he said he would speak to the manager. Nothing.I decided to write to cooperate. They didn't read the email and thought it was a rental. I responded. They wrote back and said to contact Hertz in Richmond, VA. I responded telling them I had tried three times and to please read the email. Now, everything is silent. I will not buy from Hertz again. My last car was from Enterprise (I wish they had what I wanted), they were responsive. Hertz is not!Here's what the industry states about mismatched tires:Uneven Tread Wear:Mixing tires with different sizes, tread patterns, or load indices can cause uneven weight distribution, leading to faster wear on some tires compared to others. Poor Handling: Mismatched tires can negatively impact a car's handling and braking performance. The different tires may have different grip levels, causing the car to feel unstable or unpredictable in turns or during braking, especially in emergency situations. Drivetrain Damage (AWD/4WD): In all-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicles, mismatched tires can put extra strain on the drivetrain, potentially leading to damage to the transfer case, differentials, or other components. Tire Rotations: Mismatched tires can make tire rotations more difficult or impossible, further contributing to uneven wear.
