too big of a stagger, 20 difference is best most of the time. bigger gap between front and back equals more understeer (but safe if you don't know how to drive)

>>14021396
That's a big stagger, but depending on your driving methods it should be safe.
I wouldn't recommend it, I would feel safest with a 10 difference in sizes.

>>14020823
I didn't even know we had those, what the fuck

>>14020823
I hurt my back and now don't think I would be able to change a tire anymore if I get a flat. What should I do? Call a tow company and have them take it to a tire shop? Or will they install the spare so I can drive to one for it to be plugged/replaced? Also what happens if you don't have the tire in stock, do people leave their flat tired cars there until you do? (deliveries are like next day right?)

>>14022364
No OP, but check the terms service with whatever roadside assistance program you use. AAA would change my flat or bring me gas if I needed, but obviously every conpany could be different.

>>14022364
We do flat repairs for free, but only if the tire is repairable. What would disqualify a tire from being repairable is:
1.) Leak in the sidewall or far shoulder
2.) Tire is older than 10 years old
3.) If it has a gas station/gummy plug (any other plug that is plugged/patched properly is serviceable)
4.) The tire does not have exposed cord

We'll even air check the rest of the tires to make sure they're good, and if any are flat, we'll fix those up too. It's all free, you don't need to be a "member" or buy something beforehand.

We do not have a towing company, so you'll have to figure out a way to get here, you can call the store and ask for a tow if you don't have one, and we'll arrange that aswell.

Also if we don't have the tires in stock, sometimes what we'll do is send one of our workers to another Discount/America's Tire store that's nearby, to pick that specific tire up from there, if they have it in stock. If they don't, then the usual wait time would be a day or two. We get a delivery truck with 300-600+ tires every other day.

*If the tire has exposed cord it is unserviceable
My mistake

>>14022427
Thanks for the info.

>>14020823
My tire has a slow leak but I can't see where it's leaking. It's not punctured anywhere. Could it be that the rim of the wheel is bent too much? I didn't have this problem until I got new tires on.

>>14022501
That could be it, or sometimes we get faulty tires with the beads kind of ripped, or the person mounting it just fucked it up. Bring it in, tell them there's a slow leak, ask them to dunk it and call you out to show you where the leak is coming from.

>>14022514
I'll do that, thanks

>>14022501

Some shitstain sued us for something concerning alignment, and we just stopped doing it

>>14022627
Fucking good goys ruining shit for the rest of us. I avoid making friends with people that have been involved in lawsuits. Unless there was some serious bodily loss, I believe they are just downright evil individuals for suing

How much of a bitch is it to get TPMS worked on? Payed a mom n pop shop to mount three new tires on existing wheels and swap the full size spare for the fourth... But now one of my TPMS numbers is for my "new" spare tire in the trunk. Is it something that can be done without unmounting the tire? Also, the fuckers either stole (or stripped out) my wheel locks and replaced them with regular nuts. Is that common practice?

>>14022667
We have to dismount the wheel from the vehicle but we don't breakdown the tire itself to replace the TPMS.
We don't charge for labor like that. We only charge if you buy wheels, tires, or sensors.
Rotations, balances, repairs, and whatever other labor you need is completely free.

We pop the top bead, and use a robot arm to lower the sidewall so we can remove and replace the valves and sensors

>>14022667
Also regarding the wheel locks with regular lugs, that's never happened with me. My guess is something happened to the wheel lock key or the actual lugs, and they just replaced them with regular ones. They should have told you about that, I apologize for that.
