Dealer Screwup

[rva_kstinger]

2019 GT owner here! I bought a set of new all weather tires and the installer apparently put the rear rim on the front. They disclosed this mistake and asked me to bring the car back tomorrow..what should I be on the look out for damage wise?

You shouldn't have anything to worry about other than the car might handle a bit funny until it's corrected because the car has a staggerd wheel setup (wider wheels/tires in the back versus the front). How long have you been driving with the wheels like that?

That is one seriously lazy mistake by the tech...

Lol. I worried about this too. But instead of a bit of understeer, wider tires on the front will likely induce oversteer. One narrower and wider tire on the front and back will likely not even be noticeable by most drivers, including me: until you stand back to admire your car and it dawns on you that on one side, your rake looks wonky. Then you'll look closer and see a wider tire forward. And then you'll call your service techs and embarrass them.

Maybe you'll start a new alter-staggered trend.

Come to think of it, I'll measure mine just in case lol.
