Yep, we've all got them. They're from the vehicle being secured during the shipping process. Totally normal. Not drastic enough to be "bubbles" that would compromise the structural integrity of the tire.

Then I'd take that up with your dealer. But I don't see this as something to stress over.

This just gives you an excuse to throw some beefier tires on your Sport. Save the "ugly" set for spares. 🙂

1. Every bronco sport I’ve looked athave had the tire indents, I ran mine for 13,000 miles without any issues.
2. The stock continentals are trash, and should be burnt up in 10-15,000 miles and then you’ll want to add some all terrains.
3. $30,000 for a new vehicle with all the options this one has is pretty darn cheap… you will be hard pressed to find any other all wheel drive cross overs/small SUVS for less than $35k. Ford has to cut costs somewhere, also the shipping companies have been super affected by COVID and most of them suck now.

Mine didn't have any indentations on the tires when I took delivery.

But I can see it happening since the tires are overinflated at the factory for shipping + being strapped in tight for a month long journey to the dealer.

It's common due to the construction of the tire. Nothing that you did wrong. The force exerted during shipping over an extended period of time means it's just bound to happen.
