That's good to know. Makes me feel a little better. They are MICHELIN LATITUDE 245/60/18. Maybe he felt bad for screwing me over.

1- Got the flat at night, in a driving rain storm on a 5 lane highway. 2- Ford auto service would not change the tire there. Too dangerous, had to tow. 3- Flat tire had a ½” hole in it. Could not patch tire. 4- Told Dealer to put spare on and that is when he said “only if the tire is the same dia” 5- Three hours later when he got around to looking at my tire did he come back and say I need all 4 tires. 6- He sold me the tires for $100 ea including balancing. Michelin P245/60R-18 In retrospect I would have told him to go ahead and put the spare tire on. Go home and do some research before replacing all four tires. But after a 5 hour ordeal, all I wanted to do was go home!! Thanks for the responses. Live and Learn

Well I had my first flat tire in 20 years last night. What a nightmare!! Had to have it towed because a ½ inch dia bolt 4 inches long was sticking out of the middle of the tire pattern!! After 4 hours at the Ford dealer I was told that all 4 tires had to be replaced because the other 3 tire diameters were 3/32 smaller. I have 20,000 miles on the tires. Did I just get scammed??? The guy said if all tires are not the exact size it could damage the AWD components. I had my wife get on the internet while I was at the dealer and she did find some discussions on having to buy all new tires for AWD vehicles. Has anyone else gone through this?
