most discount tires (america's tire) in my area have touchless mounters.
How long should it take for them to be broken in? I've easily got two hundred (maybe even three) on them now and it's actually worse than before.

Oh, and about the touchless... they say they do, but when I asked how they got damage he said that it's because of the reverse mount process they use, where they put the wheel face down or whatever.

I don't know. I like the lower prices at Discount, but I'm almost willing to pay a little bit more somewhere else if I'm not going to get screwed, because now I have to take my car in to get it checked (one day) and find a ride home and back to the shop, then drop it off for another two days, find a ride home, to/from work for two days, then a ride back to the shop.

Discount is paying for the re-powdercoating, but what about my time and others that have to drive me around? **** them.
