My new Civic Touring Sedan 2016 came with 3 Firestones and 1 Continental. Is that normal?

It's been 5 months since i have owned the car and i just realized that the rear left tire is a continental procontact while the remaining 3 are firestores f-140.
Do you think the dealer must have changed the rear left or something before selling the car to me?

Maybe 1 tire was suspect during PDI? Definitely changed out.

Thank You Billy, Should i call and check with them or is it pretty normal for such situations? Sorry - first time car owner here

No, not remotely normal, get it changed before you have abnormal wear.

Thanks ! Just went to the dealer and he was surprised as well. He will be changing the 4th tire tomorrow to match the other 3 ! Luckily i have only 1200 miles on the car, so should be ok.

Got it changed today for free ! All 4 are Firestones now. Not the best out there but will do since i don't drive far much.

Should change in pairs

So if the tires had 10 miles you would f change both? He has 1200 miles, he can change one tire with absolutely no issues ever

Yeah 10 miles is near 1200 miles... I can gurantee the tread life is imbalanced and what does he care. It's not like he's paying out of pocket to remedy this. Honda should correct this. If it were me, I wouldn't settle for this.

Ya he could have probably got 2 if he played the safety card.. might not be too late..
