before? The tire shops get the wheels on there way too tight, and you
nearely bust a gut getting them off.I bought a ten foot long heavy pipe
at a scrap iron yard.I am going to get out one of my pipe cutters and
cut off about a four feet long lenght of that pipe.I will keep the four
feet long lenght piece of pipe in my 1978 Dodge van to use for a cheater
pipe to use on my 4 way lug wrench, when I need it.

I have a two-foot piece of pipe, pounded a little flat on one end so
it nicely fits on my socket drivers.
I used it to prop up a trailer with a broken spring to get to a place
to replace it and it got a little bent. Turned out the bend was
exactly right to clear fenders!!
Custom tools are great!!

Yep. Been there many times. Actually split the socket on the factory lug
wrench on one car trying to get a wheel off. I think it was at either a
Home Depot or a Payless Cashways about 25 years ago that I found galvanized
gas pipe precut in 4 foot lengths. I got two. One went to holding up the
mailbox. The other has been used on the end of a 1/2 inch breaker bar many
times on many bolts. Makes 100+ lb-ft torqued bolts child's play.

Ya it's the latest sucker play! They hammer the damn things on so tight
they warp the rotors so you have to come back for a brake job.
They are supposed to use a torque wrench on modern wheels and rotors.

The few tire shops in this little town do exactly that. Lugs go on with an
impact
wrench, as tight as they can hammer them on. I have started removing the
wheels at my home garage, taking the tire to them for repair, and then
refitting
myself with a torque wrench.
And yes, they should be sued.

I agree, it is a blatant rip off.
As tire techs we were taught to use torque wrenches on tires way back in
the 70's when 'mag' and aluminum rims first came out.
The Jeep shops I have used use the air gun to seat them, then finish
with a torque wrench, anything else is negligence or a rip off attempt.

A shop that doesn't do 'repairs' or 'installs' with future damage intended.
Or one that actually gives the tire tech 5 minutes of training and is
honest.
I know, an honest mechanic is almost a contradiction in terms, but they
'do' exist, really!

the Tire Rack. and I'll just buy a tire machine from one of the places
going out of business. Sounds like a win-win to me.
Very, very few places, in my experience, mount and balance tires
properly. My apologies to those of you who may be reading this who
actually do do it right.

I think that one is the key. I am certain this is why so many people have
tire vibration problems. Most tire monkeys seem to be hacks: Mount it, slap
some weights on and out it goes. Persistent vibration? Must be a faulty
tire.
How many tire shops actually ensure their tire monkeys know to make sure a
tire spins true before balancing it? How many tire monkeys know to make
sure the beads are seated evenly all around? How many tire monkeys know the
meaning of those colored dots on the tires (and wheels)? How many garages
have ANYbody on staff who knows how to mount a tire properly? How many tire
shops use proper tire mounting lube instead of dish soap and water?

Look about 1/4 way down that page.
Steel wheels often have dots as well (don't know about aluminum). My
mechanic tells me the wheel dots mean something too, but I can't remember
what it is. If he can locate the wheel dot on a used wheel, he uses that as
well as the tire dots when mounting.

There's only /one/ place I can go where the job gets done right, first
time, every time. This is the same place where the owner explained to me
all about tire dots, mounting lube, bead seating, trueness and other
arcana, showing me exactly how to mount a tire and exactly why the monkeys
get it wrong /all/ the time.
It's fairly simple once you know, but nobody knows. Or seems to care about
knowing.

Does Tire rack exist solely on retail?
Will they be around once all of their wholesale customers go tits
up?

I don't mount tires, I DO hand torque to spec any time I R & R a
wheel for other service.
Mounting tires was something I did in high school for $1.65 an
hour.

Given tirerack's history at

It seems that there business has always been selling tires to people
like Nate and myself (other than their expansion into other parts of

I think some of them have been getting sued after those
overtightened and overstressed studs break and the wheel departs. The

When the crooks are out of business, others will go into business.
It is not rocket science to mount a tire to a rim properly, to balance the
assembly,
and to bolt it to the hub and torque with a torque wrench.
If they cant handle that, they need to be out of business.
I still remember how to demount a tire using irons, and remount them
manually.
It isnt as easy as pushing a f***ing button, but I can still do it.

You all seem hell bent on turning the tire business into the
health care business.
Frankly, I don't really care because like I said earlier, I don't
bust tires, I haven't busted tires for over 35 years.
it's a base entry level job.
I DO think you should be careful what you ask for and also
consider who originally suggested it...

I bought a new set of tires not long ago for my 1978 Dodge van.No more
than I drive anywhere nowadays, about 240 something miles each year and
only on the slow poke back roads, and at my age, (sixty six) I probally
won't live long enough to wear those tires out, dry rot will probally do
them in first.
..
There is an old used tires place a few miles from doggys couch, the name
of that place used to be MAYPOP Used Tires.They changed the name of that
place.

I dont guess I fully understand your post, Aarcuda.
At this point, I dont have to do business with crooks and thieves,
particularly in the tire business.
I have had enough rotors warped because of ham fisted tire
changers, and have learned not to accept that sort of business
any more.

You are over generalizing, Aarcuda. I dont know what Cuhulin does,
but when I change tires, I get the best I can find. And I pay for them.
I expect premier service, and will not do business with those who are
thieves or cretins. And I WILL sue them under Texas Deceptive Trade
Practices legislation if I have to.

Duhulin thinks lawsuits are the answer.
As an ESO, I think that's full of shit.

And I am glad that you don't.

I have had enough belly aches because of fast food and have
learned not to eat at those sort of restaurants anymore.

Obviously he doesn't, and he doesn't understand the difference.

I'm guessing that that isn't at the used tire place.

No one should.

If you don't do business with them, why would you need to sue
them?
