So they said the wheels were in balance but i still have a tiny bit of vibration at highway speed. Can warped rotors cause this? I know I have vibration under braking.

Oh these assh@ts.....

I'm suddenly running a 265 on my front and a 245 on my rear driver side. No wonder it felt weird as **** when I left.

I last dealt with discount tire about 10 years ago, similar issues with bad product and terrible service. Fortunately a local tire business opened and has been great ever since. I would never go back to a tire business that doesn't even know (and obviously doesn't care) what size tires go on what cars. I hope you are in a position to vote with your wallet! Good luck getting it sorted out.

They fixed it today after they were technically closed. I got apologized to by the manager and a few techs. I was told that the tech that did it was reprimanded. I just feel bad because he was a young looking kid and was probably just trying to get me out of there quickly since they were so busy.

Should have protected her before taking her out! Then the dirt and bugs would fall off.

Where did you go hiking?
