New Tires Ordered

I'm up in the Spring Hill area so that would have been a pretty good drive...but in hind site...I should have just done that. I tried touching up the spot...but I think it made it look worse so I just wiped the paint off.

I've been through it. I feel your pain. I had the same thing happen to me. Plus they could not balance the tires right. AP tires is worth the drive. They installed my springs too. FYI.

I should have said something before I drove off...but I doubt they would have done anything to resolve it. I also checked the weights they put on the front wheels and they are very tall weights...looks kind of odd.

If your wheels were damage free you should have told them and offered to let them inspect before starting work. Let them know you will hold them responsible for damage and they can decide if they want the risk. If damaged, hold them responsible for resolving. Any good tire shop should be able to take the time to do this carefully...

You're right...but I messed up by not having them go over it before. My fault for not doing that...but that still doesn't excuse the fact that they screwed up. Oh well though; nothing I can do about it now though.

Jordo!

Good reviews on tire rack, though the higher wear rating makes me wonder if they are as grippy as the stockers. I'll have to see if I can find a GRMS review.

They are a LOT lighter tho', so that is free torque.

Let us know how you like them

Well...I can't really give them a true review yet solely because I have to wear off the "new tire gel." I will say that I drove them today in the rain at cruise speed (55-65) and I felt solid and stuck to the road. So far they are handling great...but they need a few hundred miles before I'll really be able to test them out.

I was wondering about those I just ordered the Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08 I was looking at the RE11's as well. But the Yokos seem to be a little better for my auto crossing goals. Plus my stock set of Re050s are loud on the road.

Don't know how you got 30k on the re050s mine are at 1/8 before the tread wear marker @12.5k.

I never track my car...just daily highway driving. I was at the wear bar when I changed them.
