Tires installed incorrectly by dealer

Had new tires installed at 37,000 miles at the dealer.

My car is only ever been touched by the dealer. The last time was at the 60,000 maintenance interval.

I’m now at 67,000 miles, and I’m starting to shop for new tires, and I look and they’ve put the rears on the driver side of the car, and the front on the passenger side of the car. I kid you not.

I called the dealer to verify when the tires were installed, and I also verified that I’m not just an idiot… That the 235s need to be on the front, and the 255s need to be on the rear. Yes sir. Service advisor seems baffled. Unfortunately, this was two years ago and there’s really nothing that can be said. They are “getting back to me”.

The bigger question is… Anyone that knows about tires or anything like this, what does this actually mean? Is it just performance related, or is it safety related, should I just blow this off? It’s a really careless mistake.

I have a 2021 XC40 Recharge pushing 65k miles, but I know there are people with a lot more! For those that have a lot, have you had anything abnormal that needed fixing? I am not talking software or the odd vibration glitches. I am talking mechanical/suspension/electrical...anything that just failed.

While my miles-per-charge kind of sucks, the car still drives amazingly well. Yes, the whole android system is a complete disaster and glitchy AF, but mechanically speaking the thing just keeps going. Curious about your high-mileage XC40!
