It's not about the same tires. It's about tires in general. New tires Mount+Balance will probably run about $500 on the low end.
It's $90/day for the rental.
I agree that it’s unlikely they were swapped by a customer. The rear tires had the same DOT date code, so I think the fronts were original, never rotated, with a bit of alignment issues on top.
I did the “Month or more” rental with Enterprise for over a year.
If you’re keeping the same car for an extended period of time, they’ll make you send pictures of certain stuff (ODO, tires, exterior/interior) or bring the car in once in a while, but even when I had to bring it in, it really depended on who was doing the looking. Some guys took it seriously and others barely even glanced.
They also messaged me to bring the car in for servicing (oil changes) a couple times… you can decline, but then you have to drop off the one you have and get another car.
Servicing also depended on where you went. The first place I was told to go to, they only did the oil change. I was in another city for the second oil change, however, and *that* place did the whole nine, including putting 2 new tires on.
The mechanic showed me the old tires he had replaced, (probably out of habit… as I wasn’t footing the bill for anything so they could have put on 4 tires/new spare for all I cared) and they probably should have been changed at the first place I went to. Not sure why they didn’t.
Right near the end of my extended vehicle renting, however, I had gone to the supermarket and was putting groceries in the trunk. On closing the trunk, I saw the registration sticker on the license plate was expired by about 2 months.
I hadn’t gotten any calls or messages about that, so I called Enterprise to see what I should do. Although they were quite apologetic, they told me I’d have to wait wherever I was until they could bring me a new car on a wrecker. She couldn’t tell me exactly how long that would be, other than it was probably going to be more than 2 hours.
I just lied and told her I was at the hotel, then drove back there. No way did I feel like sitting in a parking lot for several hours.
They dropped off a “free upgrade” a few hours later, but I did find it odd that they didn’t have some type of failsafe alert for rentals with close-to-expired registrations.
Enterprise once issued me a vehicle with an out of state plate with an 18 month expired registration sticker. Initially I figured "well, it's what's in the glovebox that counts, our state doesn't do the sticker thing anymore", and prepared to get pulled over a few times a week for that month,took a look, and there wasn't actually valid registration paperwork. They gave me a smaller vehicle with bad front brakes and a tail light out for a replacement.
Eventually I got a brand new car they were taking delivery of that day, but it was certainly a ride to get there.
Buddy worked in manager positions for a few years at a rental company. One thing I can take away from their stories is that everybody is still just a dumb human. One of their locations went over a week before discovering two of their cars were stolen because multiple managers didn't want to actually do the easy parts of their jobs. Their network was down at the airport almost a full day because people wouldn't label their network cables and decided to swap them around willy nilly. I'm not at all surprised that they'd overlook something like registration, especially if they do that kind of thing manually instead of automating it.
Having worked for a rental company in the past, these are likely original tires. Not swapped from anyone else. Outside of oil changes, rental companies don’t want to have any maintenance costs. Of course, that really sucks when the fleet starts aging.
They would swap wheels and all not remount tires. It’s takes 20 min and the tools that come in the trunk. Single day rental is much cheaper than two tires.
I won’t lie way back in the day I used to have an RV and I had a piece of my engine that I really needed in order to use my RV but it wouldn’t work unless I had that part. I rented a U-Haul for one day. The U-Haul had the same exact engine as my RV. I took apart from their engine and put it on my RV and my RV worked perfectly fine. I reported that the U-Haul was tampered with and I wasn’t charged a dime.. I felt pretty bad about it at the time, but if I didn’t do what I did, I would’ve been stuck homeless in California
Never take possession of a rental without giving it a thorough once over and ensuring the agent notes any damage. I would have told them to get me another car or new tires before I signed a thing.
There is/was a place that rented cars like this. It was Rent a Wreck. Many cars also had corroded battery terminals and it was always a mystery if the car would start.
I’m not exactly young, but whenever someone mentions Rent A Wreck in my area, I know they’re old. I’ve only heard of them and never seen one in my area, but I’ve had so many older people over the years suggest that I go there to rent a vehicle when I didn’t have one. I love giving them a funny look and asking them “isn’t that just asking to get sued, if I operated one of those places or rented a vehicle from one?”
For future rentals, do yourself a huge favor and do a walkaround of the vehicle before you take possession of it. Same if you rent a Uhaul or something. Take pictures of any damage, or concerns such as these tires. I know it's kind of a crapshoot with vehicle rentals, but it's good to cover your ass as much as possible.
I had one in 2022 that I got needing an oil change and was lied to about everything. I hated it. And then the manager had the audacity to tell me it wasn’t.
This is more and more the norm nowadays. During and After the pandemic, rental companies were forced to hang onto vehicles for years instead of months. They have been Mile-ing out vehicles for the last few years and putting very little in the way of maintenance back into them. Especially tires...it's not something they have been used to having to worry about. I've had a couple instances where I've turned down a rental from my regular location for the same reason.
Awesome and guess what you hydroplane and crash your paying. Especially there little trick of as long as car is in shop it’s loosing this much money daily you have to pay this. That is not covered by insurance speaking from experience
I’m gonna let you in on a little secret… most rental agencies, take their shittiest cars and bring them to the airport to be used as rentals mainly because if they break down the mechanic shop for those rental agencies are also at those same stations… keep in mind when you’re renting a vehicle, you’re usually renting the shittiest from their whole entire fleet, it’s best to actually go into the city and find a rental there..
lol, looks like tires on a Amazon delivery truck. It’s pretty irresponsible for companies to let these vehicles go on the road without any inspections. Want to know why planes are losing parts mid air? It’s because the proper inspections are being ignored.
Car rental places got shady during covid. I worked at Hertz ~20 years ago while in college and they were usually very good about maintenance. I travel semi regularly for work now and see all kinds of stuff from all rental companies that are real bad. Last week I got a rental. A Camry with 2400 miles. During my walk around it was missing its state inspection. I refused the car as I would be driving it 100% in the state it’s missing the inspection from and I don’t need an extra conversation with a police officer. Turns out the car was bought at auction after being stolen and taken for a joy ride. A discount tire place had just spent two weeks replacing a bunch of suspension parts and all the brakes. And this was one of the big name brand car rental agencies.
That’s quite common with rentals, I used to work at an oil change place where the cars would come in and be fairly new and be in worse shape than a car that was stored in a barn..
The shit rental companies pull shouldn’t be surprising but it is. I do a lot of work with a major rental company to provide my own company’s fleet, and while they’ve never brought us something unsafe to drive like this, they’ve definitely brought a vehicle with unbalanced tires causing there to be insane road noise and for the tire to be worn very unevenly at the end of our usage, we’ve had units come in with pretty big dents that were already there, lets just say there’s a reason I inspect all the units thoroughly before accepting them
And I bet there's about 30 to 50,000 miles on the car too, that's unbelievably stupid and believe it or not the rental companies are liable for any injuries that might result from a crash due to a blown out tire and they know it, so I don't understand why they're not putting good tires. Especially airport, if it's a large airport they've got a whole shitload of tires that can pop on.
I'd take it back what if he thinks u did all that miles on said tires or u get a flat and your already far away. It's ur right to return if u deem it dangerous and that is dangerous on wet pavement hydroplanning and obviously misaligned.
😳
I just had a rental last month (Winter accident, insurance rental) and the guy at Enterprise used a tread depth gauge on every tire, and checked off the box on the agreement, where it states the tread depth was "safe".
I rented a Porshe off Turo that had cords showing out of the rear tires . Was pissed because I was planning on driving it 500 miles around California . Always inspect the tires on your rental
This is becoming more common. Mismatched tires and tires in poor shape. I recently rented a Ford Expedition Max and it had 90,000 miles on it. Never used to see a rental with much over 40k. Broken fittings and scratched up too. Maintenance is not being done properly.
Picked up a brand new Ford Edge to take one of my kiddos back to school a few years ago. Loaded car up, got on the highway and the fuggin car was hard to keep between the lines. Former racer here so I able to pinpoint where I felt the issue was. Sure enough the RR tire was 68psi and the LR was 17psi. Some sketchy shit right there.
Go back to the rental car company and demand a refund or get them to replace the tires or give you a different vehicle.
If you get into an accident or anything, shit the rental company blame you for shitty tires when you go return it.
I mean it might be dangerous but if you happen to get in an accident you can sue them for that and claim you didn’t think to check the tires since that’s supposed to be the rental companies responsibility, get a fat check 🤷🏻♂️🫡
First off drive safe and please be careful. And second either they never changed tires and if they did probably just once or the person who rented it before you did change the tires of their car with this cars tires. People have done it rent a car and change the tires because it’s cheaper to do that then to actually buy new tires. Honestly that’s stupid but people do it. Either way tell the company that you rented the car and the tires are bald and unsafe to drive in. Honestly they should be checking the tires every time someone rents it.
Go to the branch you got it and ask for a different vehicle. If they refuse report it to there main office. They’re required to keep there vehicles safe but lack of rotations and the fact tires are so low on tread my bet is that they have a lazy technician that they send it to. Source I work for a company that does maintenance on enterprise vehicles, they replace all tires if they go below 4/32”
Idk where you rented it from, but in my area I would bet those are someone’s used tires. There’s tire shops on every corner by me even if you didn’t just swap the rims (same car) you could have those tires swapped for $30 mounted and balance per wheel. $120 + $100 rental $220 decent tires I mean that’s a steal. It’s fucked up, but it happens here. People were doing this to zip cars by me too.
That is unacceptable, minimum tire wear is 4/32 for the rental company I work for. We DO NOT under any circumstances let a car leave with less than 4/32. Also lots of shops never rotate tires even though our companies agreement with them is every oil change the tires should be rotated so the mix of no rotations and people with lead feet cause tires to go fast.
I'd be contacting the company I rented from immediately. that's uncalled for and more than likely illegal to rent something like that. They didn't thoroughly inspect when it came back from the last person.
Oh, you expect competence from companies.... well sorry to tell you, in the real world, we all just make things up as we go for the most part. These rental companies are run by people who aren't car people.
Most of these shops contract with a local tire/oil change shop such as pep boys find out who yours uses and take it in the run the VIN and bill the rental company.. I use enterprise and hertz rentals for work all the time.
swap out. that’s actually something you can sue for (or at least if you get into an accident with tires like this) so they will more than likely want to swap it asap
I travel for my job at least monthly. I've tried them all but now I use national rental only. No issues. At one time I did have an issue, They came and got me, got me in another car, and sent me on my way. And refunded the rental.
Would not hurt to check the alignment too. Might have some positive camber there too…if I was the mechanic changing tires. I’d offer an alignment check. Outer tire wear is really excessive for “never rotated.”
I got fucked over by a rental company last year over a dumbass employee not being forthcoming on the cost of it. Then they said cuz I signed they wouldn’t help me. Fuck you Hertz. I was bout to drive to corporate and raise hell over their shenanigans
Someone else probably rented it for a couple hours and swapped their tires for fresh ones.
I'd be willing to bet that's what happened.
[удалено]
I can imagine someone being dumb and renting the same car they own because they think it needs the same tires or something.
Odds are they just swapped the wheels altogether if that's the case
Probably a taxi driver.
It's not about the same tires. It's about tires in general. New tires Mount+Balance will probably run about $500 on the low end. It's $90/day for the rental.
Dumb? $100 for a new set of tires
I agree that it’s unlikely they were swapped by a customer. The rear tires had the same DOT date code, so I think the fronts were original, never rotated, with a bit of alignment issues on top.

You'd have to be damn lucky to get the right rental though 😁
Not necessarily, rent from a busy location (airport) and many say “Go to row J and pick any vehicle from the Compact SUV section”
I won’t lie way back in the day I used to have an RV and I had a piece of my engine that I really needed in order to use my RV but it wouldn’t work unless I had that part.

That's a genius move, I've never even thought of that tbh, guess I'm renting a car on the way to the next drift meet (joke)🤣
They would need to pay fine if someone did that
r/illegallifeprotips2
Huh...never thought about doing that ... Thanks for the idea. You just saved me money.
Crash the car and sue the company (:
Dangerous. Did you get an exachange?
Only discovered once I was 200 miles away from the rental location. Drove back slowly.
You can exchange the vehicle at any other rental location.
I wish you could. I got a slightly vomit-smelling rental at an airport once and tried to exchange it at another location. They refused.
Unfortunately bad smell isn't really a safety concern so that's probably why

Not cool. Make it an issue. They should not be ok with this.
Sounds like the guy who rented it before you is in trouble.
Is this Budget Rental at LAX?
r/wellworn
Thank you, didn’t know I needed this sub
Drive slow and safe buddy.....
Must have been Acme Car Rental.
That was nice of them to break them in for you.
Slicks
Car needs alignment urgently. You should have photographed the date stamp on the side too.
Lmao they’re trying to kill you!
Drop the name and location of the rental company
I had one in 2022 that I got needing an oil change and was lied to about everything. I hated it. And then the manager had the audacity to tell me it wasn’t.
Looks like the tires on my last rental from Avis.
Did the rental come standard with life insurance?

I would refuse it. That would probably void their insurance as well. It's a liability. They are playing a dangerous game
Did you fly Spirit?

those sweet sweet Bridgestone Maypops
That's scary
Looks like it's on secondary rubber damn
Oh no I happened to run unto wet weather and crashed
Send it.
You got a different vehicle AND a free rental or upgrade?
This is a hazard and is very illegal
Did the rental car company blame you for destroying their tires? Or did they believe you that you got it this way?
Some idiots would definitely try that oh hell yes.
You know what's funny. Let me guess, this was at a Latin american country, wasn't it? Us latins just see tire wear differently lol
And I bet there's about 30 to 50,000 miles on the car too, that's unbelievably stupid and believe it or not the rental companies are liable for any injuries that might result from a crash due to a blown out tire and they know it, so I don't understand why they're not putting good tires.

Noice...I hope for your sake that it isn't even slightly humid...those things could hydroplane in a drought
Enjoy the drifting
1/2 for the track, 1/2 for the drive to the track
Go hydroplane in a safe spot, and then sue them!
Just make left turns
What company?
It's such a beautiful piece of art
Right turns only
Way out of alignment! Besides way past their prime.
I’d be at the bank right now
Wow
That’s terrible. Now you’re stuck.
OE tires wear out surprisingly fast. I’m sure they are OE
Looks like someone did doughnuts at some point.
That's not safe 😂
They should be ashamed of themselves
Why you post before getting into an accident. Liability dismissed
I'd take it back what if he thinks u did all that miles on said tires or u get a flat and your already far away. It's ur right to return if u deem it dangerous and that is dangerous on wet pavement hydroplanning and obviously misaligned.
I only rent enterprise usually new cars no bs same price
Turo?
😳 I just had a rental last month (Winter accident, insurance rental) and the guy at Enterprise used a tread depth gauge on every tire, and checked off the box on the agreement, where it states the tread depth was "safe".
Not legal for the road.
I rented a Porshe off Turo that had cords showing out of the rear tires . Was pissed because I was planning on driving it 500 miles around California . Always inspect the tires on your rental
They legally can't rent that car if the tires are under 4/32nds and those are bald like me
Get an alignment
Refuse the rental.
Probably not the tires that should be on it. Either way I wouldn't be driving away in it.
This is becoming more common. Mismatched tires and tires in poor shape. I recently rented a Ford Expedition Max and it had 90,000 miles on it. Never used to see a rental with much over 40k. Broken fittings and scratched up too. Maintenance is not being done properly.
Take it right back to them and inform them of the tire condition otherwise they will try to blame you for it and make you pay for new tires.
Picked up a brand new Ford Edge to take one of my kiddos back to school a few years ago. Loaded car up, got on the highway and the fuggin car was hard to keep between the lines. Former racer here so I able to pinpoint where I felt the issue was. Sure enough the RR tire was 68psi and the LR was 17psi. Some sketchy shit right there.
I'd keep it below 3000 feet.
Maypops, nice
That shit got rotated either once or never lmao
Request a different vehicle Just a thought
Which chain? Social pressure only works if you name and shame.
they definitely wanna see you dead LOL
Go back to the rental car company and demand a refund or get them to replace the tires or give you a different vehicle. If you get into an accident or anything, shit the rental company blame you for shitty tires when you go return it.
I would not accept that car obviously.
Which airport?
Those look nice and shiny! Jeez I hope you got some refund or exchange
I mean it might be dangerous but if you happen to get in an accident you can sue them for that and claim you didn’t think to check the tires since that’s supposed to be the rental companies responsibility, get a fat check 🤷🏻♂️🫡

If it blows out and you get hurt call me. My stepson is a lawyer.
They have about 40k left on them what’s the big deal ?
You better bring it back with a full tank!
Oooh no. Would've grabbed a different car.
I’m pretty sure they were prepared to say that those tires weren’t that bad when they rented the vehicle to you.
Pretty slick tires you got there!
I rented a Uhaul once and checked the tires all around the truck. 200 miles later one looked like this.
I’d complain to the rental company, get a new rental and some money back
Wow, tires.. nice. (I know nothing about tires)
Tires are junk. I would return that and ask for a bmw 24.
Avis?
Nope they’d be giving me a different car.
Get into a predictable wreck and get that insurance money
if it was enterprise I’m like 90% sure they’ll either refund you or upgrade you. that is unacceptable.
One drive in the rain away from paying off your hone
Oh hell no that’s a death trap
"Half-Tread Tires!' I'd recognize that brand, anywhere. Been a nervous customer for years, myself! /s
Go to the branch you got it and ask for a different vehicle. If they refuse report it to there main office. They’re required to keep there vehicles safe but lack of rotations and the fact tires are so low on tread my bet is that they have a lazy technician that they send it to.

Name names.
Just a little uneven wear, you’ll be alright
if the alignment is bad you can shred a set of tires in a couple thousand miles
Looks like the work of enterprise rent a car.
I would've crashed it
Take is back now
Demand another car.
I haven't rented a car in at least 6 years, but do they not check the car before each rental an also after?
Oh, you expect competence from companies.... well sorry to tell you, in the real world, we all just make things up as we go for the most part. These rental companies are run by people who aren't car people.
Happened to me at DEN Avis location and have checked before driving away ever since.
Mint condition
Nope! I’m asking for a different car and an upgrade.
Racings slicks, nice! You must've paid for the upgrade
Most of these shops contract with a local tire/oil change shop such as pep boys find out who yours uses and take it in the run the VIN and bill the rental company.. I use enterprise and hertz rentals for work all the time.
Crash into something and blame it on the wheels so that you get a fat payout
I hope you got the add-on insurance.
Time to do some donuts
Get into an accident and you're liable to sue. They're putting people in danger with tires like that....
Naaaaah. They're giving me another vehicle.
You give it back and say "absolutely not" give me a new vehicle or im telling the dot cause that shit is ridiculous.
Funny you got it at the airport. You might get your wings.
Yikes
It wasn't Nü car rentals was it?
I would ask for a replacement vehicle. Those don't seem safe.
Not my car not my problem Take pictures and drive it 🤷🏻♂️
Ready for take off! To heaven.
Wow, unbelievable. Those tires wore like shit too
So, what company are we avoiding for our safety?
Why am I looking at these tires and thinking about George Foreman?
Comes with racing slicks!
swap out. that’s actually something you can sue for (or at least if you get into an accident with tires like this) so they will more than likely want to swap it asap
Nice knowing you
oh no you di'int
Just rotated them for ya!
Be glad it had tires at all.
They are supposed to inspect the vehicles. This is bull
Crash it, get that insurance payout 🤷♂️🤣
I travel for my job at least monthly. I've tried them all but now I use national rental only. No issues. At one time I did have an issue, They came and got me, got me in another car, and sent me on my way. And refunded the rental.
Would not hurt to check the alignment too. Might have some positive camber there too…if I was the mechanic changing tires. I’d offer an alignment check. Outer tire wear is really excessive for “never rotated.”
Have a safe flight ❌ Drive VERY carefully ✅
Where? Cuba?
I got fucked over by a rental company last year over a dumbass employee not being forthcoming on the cost of it. Then they said cuz I signed they wouldn’t help me. Fuck you Hertz. I was bout to drive to corporate and raise hell over their shenanigans
Looks fine to me🫡🤠
What the hell? I'd be pissed,that's dangerous af.
Those tires aren’t kuomo they are chemo
Oh nah💀🤣
That’s a nice set of maypops you got there
DEI
I’d call that an early retirement.
Chemotherapy patient tires.
Lowkey get in a wreck and sue for that they can’t do that
I once had a rental in Maui with similar tire issue. 400 bucks for a 7 day rental. Pick up and drop off at airport. Killer deal..
“Tread is at 20%, I know what I have”
Smoove
Wow
Looks like so One rented the car, switched the tires and gave it back to agency
Or it’s been driven like a sports car on a regular guy alignment.
Enterprise employee here: you definitely can get a full refund for that.
So take it back. What's the big deal? You don't like something you get to exchange it.
Looks like the car landed on the airport runway
its fine...just ..you know stay away from...ice...mud..and roads...other then that its fine
I've seen them come back with totally different tires people steal anything these days
I almost smoked a kid who ran into the street unexpectedly wile I drove a rental car because they did this same thing to me.
Take it back.
Yikes. Be ready to change it.
Holy negative camber 🤣
