“I rented this car from Drivo on July 17th. On the 21st we noticed the tire light. When we went to the garage to get this checked the two rear tires were bald, with the wires showing through the tires. We have photos of this, and a statement from the garage that the tires were in an illegal/unroadworthy condition. Despite raising this in many emails with the company, Drivo/Ace, nobody has made any response to our safety concerns. I think that this car may still be in an unroadworthy condition.”Owner report · Tires · Jul 2026
