So at the dealership for my first oil change and general service. Anyone else have problems getting a dealer to do a 5 tire rotate? In the past I have always had any tire work, even care of factory tires, done at discount and never at a dealership. Since I got a platinum service plan with pre paid maintenance and tire warranty on the bronco figured I would have them do it this time. Specifically asked for a 5 tire rotation and the service writer made a note of it on the ticket. The tell me she’s done and I can see that the factory spare is still hanging on the tailgate ( still has the colored lines on the tread that has worn off the others) point this out to the service writer who goes to ask the tech. Comes back and says “the spare was at 17/32” and the other four were at 14/32” so rotating the spare in will cause uneven wear and should wait until next rotation to add the spare…… pointed out that the other 4 are not going to grow in the next 5k miles and evening out the west was the reason I wanted the spare on the ground. They grudgingly took it back and are fixing it now. Perhaps because this is the first vehicle ford has made in many years with a matching spare so 5 tire seems strange to them. May have to number the tires with soap next time so I can track how they move them lol.
