I got a good deal on tires, but afterwords found out they really did a bang-up job. All four 19" Rays rims suffered the same exact fate - likely from a screw driver and a hammer going to town. I called and they said for 38 years they've never had any problems at all.
The place is here:
PORTERFIELD TIRE, INC. ATHENS, GA (706) 549-6698 its a local shop which sold me Hankook Evo12 tires for a price that beat them all, even online prices could not beat 'em. I got all 4 tires installed plus a 4 wheel alignment for $780 which was a good deal... but now I feel 'had'.
I'm waiting to hear back from the owner later today. If this happened to you would you pursue restitution?
