Did they install that valve stem in backwards? What the heck did they do. That doesn't look like a valve stem cap.

that yellow dot on tire should line up with the valve stem.....im thinking u spun the tire too hard after install, take few hundred miles to get the tire/rim married together

yes,they were lined up,,,only used a bit of Murphy's tire soap & still had to bout break tire changer from floor to twist the tire to exact spot....drove on them 40miles with 40 psi air & made 1 15mph roll start from 1st-2nd gear....felt no wheel spin at all.
These tires are 32lbs. The Goodyears weighed in at 28
Both sides turned equal amounts/Thank's to my new Quaife
