Here are my wheels about a month ago when I got new tires. Notice, theres not really any loss of dip.. its mostly sealant grease or whatever that stuff is they use.





Here is the first time I got new tires, I went to a cheaper tire place. There weren't any high quality technicians working on my car there..
