I would advise in the future to steer clear of any auto related shop with the word "Discount" in the name. June

Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.
Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a kickback.

Just got off the phone with Jeff, didn't catch his title, but a regional office guy. Very helpful. They're refunding the $58 because it all doesn't make much sense, he said.
So now the Final Task is at hand, the boss level: communication with the store manager for the credit card credit.

Re: Discount Tire saga - one slow leak
Make sure it isn't in DiTCoin
Im glad this saga worked out, but did it deserve its own tread?

I suspect its being posting on a popular web site entered into the decision making process for the manager at DTD.

Re: Discount Tire saga - one slow leak
I doubt he / they saw this. I didn’t mention it. It’s kinda heavy for what the problem is. Was.

Re: Discount Tire saga - one slow leak
I suppose it depends on if they have a program to match internet complaints to actual call-in complaining customers. If they do, then yea they matched me. Jeff didn’t say anything.

Re: Discount Tire saga - one slow leak
This really makes me want to get a tire machine and balancer. Any one in the SNH Area want to come and use my new to me machine? Or would I be the only one. You have to bring your own weights though.

Re: Discount Tire saga - one slow leak
I have a HF tire mounter and balancer to aviod these problems. Problem is the mounting/demounting tool doesn't work very well on low profile tires. It worked very well for the V70 (205/55R16), I hope it will work for our new V60 with 50 series 17" wheels,but I am skeptical.
Worth noting, new modern quality tires rarely need weights if you mount the dot correctly. I have verified this.
