Tires Plus.. What a Joke

POS VETT · 04-03-2016, 07:01 AM

I have to agree with some of the comments in here. Let's focus at the root problem and assume the wheel could be considered straight. Did you ever find out why the wheel or the tire wobbled? Was it the whole assembly wobbling (sign of a wheel bolted incorrectly)? Or was it the tire mounted "crooked" (sign of a bead, or both, seating incorrectly)? Or both?

This shows that whether it was a "reputable" shop or a shop that's considered "BS" are the same on one aspect, they can make a mistake.

Regarding Tires Plus comment, were they given a chance to take off the wheel and tire assembly from the car for inspection or was it just a "tire-kicking" look-see at the parking lot?

I agree with the "back wheel on the front" explanation.

Did you double check to make sure the weights didn't fall off one of the wheels?

They took the wheel off.. and told me the reason for the wobble was because I must have hit a pot hole and damaged my wheel.

The tires look to be balanced properly and it is the only wheel out of the 4 that is having this issue. I still do not know the cause of the issue at this point.
